Assessing the levels of intraspecific admixture and interspecific hybridization in Iberian wild goats (Capra pyrenaica) [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Iberian wild goats (Capra pyrenaica, also known as Iberian ibex, Spanish ibex, and Spanish wild goat) underwent strong genetic bottlenecks during the 19th and 20th centuries due to overhunting and habitat destruction.

Co-infection patterns in the ectoparasitic community affecting the Iberian ibex Capra pyrenaica [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Sarcoptic mange is one of the main parasitic diseases affecting the Iberian ibex Capra pyrenaica. Scabietic animals suffer a decline in body condition and reproductive fitness and in severe cases may die.

Ivermectin Plasma Concentration in Iberian Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) Following Oral Administration: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Sarcoptic mange is considered the main driver of demographic declines occurred in the last decades in Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) populations. Mass treatment campaigns by administration of in-feed acaricides are used as a measure to mitigate the ...

The local skin cellular immune response determines the clinical outcome of sarcoptic mange in Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 IntroductionSarcoptic mange, caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, is a disease with implications for wildlife conservation and management. Its severity depends on the host’s local skin immune response, which is largely unknown in Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica ...

A phylogeny for genus Capra based on extensive sampling of wild populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAmong the most economically and ecologically important taxa are those with wild and domestic counterparts, such as the true goats (genus Capra), that are distributed and used by humans world-wide. Such taxa often played roles in the spread of pastoralism,

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To
