title: Hares from the Late Pleistocene of Ukraine: a phylogenetic analysis and the status of Lepus tanaiticus (Mammalia, Lagomorpha)
abstract: Abstract Hares (genus Lepus ) are widely distributed in Europe, and they are adapted to various types of habitats. Many species are known to hybridise, and previous molecular genetic studies have revealed recurrent introgressions between species at all stages of the genus’s radiation. The Don hare ( Lepus tanaiticus ) was described from the Late Pleistocene of the Southern Urals and subsequently reported from coeval deposits of various regions of northern Eurasia. It is morphologically close to
