Article Synopsis
- The Volcano rabbit, or 'Zacatuche' (Romerolagus diazi), is an endangered species native to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, and is part of the Leporidae family.
- This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of R. diazi, revealing a genome length of 17,400 bp with essential genes, and demonstrates its basal position in the family relative to other genera like Oryctolagus and Lepus.
- The findings provide a valuable genomic resource that can aid in further research into the ecology and evolution of this unique and endangered rabbit species.
