Talk:Lagomorpha

message: What's this meant to be?  My guess is that it's some attempt at a phonemic transcription.  If so, it should be converted to IPA (as per WP:MOS).  I'd do it myself but what's "loģ o-moŕ fs" meant to represent? Jimp 08:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: In the bar to the right side of the article, it names the family containing the extinct Sardinian Pika as Prolagidae, but within the article it was Prolagus. I've now changed it within the article to Prolagidae (as I figured that would me more likely of a cantidate, considering the ending being shared with the other two). If that's incorrect, then change it back. And if either of them could be correct, that should be noted within the article. Cyril UberFuzz 20:13, 23 March 2006 (central time)
Prolagus is the genus the Sardinian pika belongs to, and Prolagidae is the family that its genus is classified in.--209.40.212.180 (talk) 10:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I can speak a tiny bit of french and looked up "lapin" and then lagomorph on the french Wikipedia and the articles in that had a lot more information. I reccomend translating, then copying some articles from the french wikipedia. Wikisquared 20:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "they will only eat vegetation (unlike rodents, which will eat meat and vegetation)"
The statement regarding lagomorphs being herbivorous seems to suggest that all rodents are omnivorous. (Obviously not all are, e.g. cavies and beavers are strictly herbivorous.) Perhaps I am just misreading that statement, but it might need to be re-phrased?

thread_title:  Rodent/lagomorph difference 

message: "Greek lago-, lag-, from lagos, 'hare', which stands for Greek lag(o)-o(us)-os, and literally means 'the animal with the flapping ears'. The first element of this compound is related to Greek lagaros, 'slack, hollow', and cognate with Latin languere, 'to faint, weary'. The second element is related to Greek ous, genitive otos, 'ear'" [Klein].  http://www.amazon.com/Comprehensive-Etymological-Dictionary-English-Language/dp/0444409300   http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Lepus.htm   Would a mention of this over-complicate the article? I was always taught that the prefix refers to the ears, so this quote from an etymological dictionary seems relevant [as well as memorable?].  Ruvablue (talk) 01:42, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think that a comparisonm chart between lagomorphs, rodents, primates, and marsupials would be helpful, or would that clutter up the article? I'd be willing to create one, based on sources of course, for example, physical, behavioral, genetic, and ecological.  Please comment. Bearian (talk) 18:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see a need for a comparison with primates and marsupials particularly. However, one that shows the differences between rodents and lagomorphs could well be useful, since they're often confused. Anaxial (talk) 08:52, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparison chart? 

message: In the "Differences" section, we are told of how rabbits and hares move, but not pikas. It's implied that they move differently, but that's not sufficient for an encyclopedia. Can someone supply? Kortoso (talk) 17:24, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differences? 

message: "...of which there are two living families..." begs the question, 'what about extinct families?'  From a quick Googling, there don't seem to be any.  So either the word 'living' should be removed, or info on any extinct families should be added.  brianfreud 08:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The intro included a statement that the ancestors of lagomorphs split from those of rodents after the K-Pg extinction event. There's a lot of disagreement on this question among the experts though, so it should still be treated as an open question for now. I thought just removing the claim made more sense than some kind of 'on the one hand... on the other hand' digression, since it's not really central to the topic.Kaficek (talk) 16:44, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

message: The infobox is badly coded and displays wrong in many ways, including a very long blank space. At least that's the case on mobile; I'll check it on desktop later today. If I knew how to fix it, I would, but I don't. Dgndenver (talk) 02:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
