Abstract excerpt

One of the world's most recognizable domestic animals is the rabbit, domesticated from the European rabbit. Domestication can drive morphospace expansion into novel phenotypes not observed in their wild counterparts; the consequences of feralization are less understood. Through these processes, we examine how humans have inadvertently driven great morphological change in this species. Characterizing skull...
