Understanding the emergence of pathogenic viruses has dominated studies of virus
evolution. However, new metagenomic studies imply that relatively few of an immense …

In the early 1980s, a highly contagious viral hemorrhagic fever in rabbits (Oryctolagus
cuniculus) emerged, causing a very high rate of mortality in these animals. Since the initial …

Competition is a widespread interaction among carnivores, ultimately manifested through
one or more dimensions of the species' ecological niche. One of the most explicit …

Lagovirus europaeus GI. 2, also known as RHDV2 or RHDVb, is an emerging virus that
causes rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In …

Mesopredators abundance is often limited by top-order predators and also by key food
resources. However, the contribution of these bidirectional forces to structure carnivore …

We describe the extremely rapid worldwide spread of the Lagovirus europaeus/GI.

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a viral disease that affects the European rabbit. RHD
was detected in 1984 in China and rapidly disseminated worldwide causing a severe …

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, a notifiable foreign animal disease in the US, was reported for
the first time in wild native North American lagomorphs in April 2020 in the southwestern US …

Emerging infectious diseases can result in species declines and hamper recovery efforts for
at-risk populations. Generalizing considerations for reducing the risk of pathogen …

The interactions between animals and their environment vary across species, regions, but
also with gender. Sex‐specific relations between individuals and the ecosystem may entail …
