Abstract

Abstract Although melanism is common in some mammal species, particularly in domestic forms, its occurrence in lagomorphs is rare. We report the first records of melanistic wild rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus in North Africa. These were obtained from a camera-trap set in Tiaret governorate, Algeria, in 2019 and 2020. Melanism is restricted to few species of Leporidae, genera Sylvilagus and Lepus. Dark rabbits have been reported to a new subspecies from Camargue (France), however this status is not recognized any longer.

北非关于黑兔的第一个记录，Oryctolagus cuniculus(林奈，1758年)

虽然黑化在一些哺乳动物物种中很常见，特别是在家养动物中，但在狐形动物中却很少见。我们报道了北非黑化野生兔子Oryctolagus cuniculus的第一个记录。这些数据是2019年和2020年在阿尔及利亚提亚雷特省设置的相机陷阱中获得的。黑化病仅局限于狐猴科、狐猴属和狐猴属的少数种。据报道，法国卡马格(Camargue)的黑兔是一个新的亚种，但这种地位不再被承认。
