Here we provide the first attempt of a taxonomic revision of the lagomorphs of the Guadix Basin (Prolagus aff. michauxi, Trischizolagus aff. crusafonti, and Oryctolagus cf. laynensis), evidencing that, at least in southern Spain, the accepted taxonomic model should be reconsidered in light of a possible partly endemic evolutionary history of lagomorphs during the latest Miocene and Pliocene. Actually, our data highlight that there was a limited interchange between southern Iberian lagomorphs and those of the rest of western Europe at least since the late Turolian (MN13). Dispersals were instead active, in the early part of the MN13, from southern Iberia to northern Africa, a new territory where prolagids and leporids underwent local radiation and evolution.}, organization = {Grant to Department of Science, Roma Tre University, MIUR-Italy Dipartimenti di Eccellenza, Art. 1, C. 314-337L. 232/016}, organization = {Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences (RVO67985831)}, organization = {Consejería de Universidad, Investigation e Innovación, Junta de Andalucía/FEDER (project P20_00066)}, organization = {MCIN/ AEI/10.13039/501100011033 (PID2020-116908GB-I00)}, publisher = {Universita degli Studi di Milano}, keywords = {Prolagidae}, keywords = {Leporidae}, keywords = {Ruscinian}, title = {Early Pliocene lagomorphs from Tollo de Chiclana-1B (Guadix Basin, Spain): new perspectives on the evolution and the paleobiogeography of late Neogene western European Lagomorpha}, doi = {10.54103/2039-4942/27506}, author = {Čermák, Stanislav and Angelone, Chiara and Martín Suárez, Elvira and García-Alix Daroca, Antonio and Minwer-Barakat Requena, Raef}, }
