Hare populations in Europe: intra and interspecific analysis of mtDNA variation
View through CrossRef
We report results of a project aimed at analysing genetic diversification in
Lepus corsicanus
(italian hare), carried out at the INFS as part of an ongoing project on the biology of
L. corsicanus
. Samples of Italian hare were collected in different localities in central-southern Italy and Sicily. Moreover samples of
L. europaeus
(brown hare), as well as other species of the genus
Lepus
, were collected in Italy and Europe in order to define the phylogenetic relationships of the Italian hare. Results show a clear genetic distinction of the Italian hare. Consequently the status of true species is warranted at the molecular level. Phylogenetic relationships among species suggest the presence of two distinct groups, the Italian hare belonging to an evolutionary lineage including species which probably originated in a glacial refugia in southern Europe before colonization by the brown hare. On the other hand the brown hare belongs to a different lineage including species of African origins.
