Bottom-Up Space Use With Top-Down Temporal Risk Buffering in Arid Herbivore Communities. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAcross seven large herbivore species in an unfenced arid system, space use is governed by bottom‐up constraints while predator risk is buffered in time, producing consistent low diel overlap with nocturnal carnivores and trait‐dependent moderation of spatial responses.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Radiocarbon and genomic evidence for the survival of Equus Sussemionus until the late Holocene
eLife, 2022 The exceptionally rich fossil record available for the equid family has provided textbook examples of macroevolutionary changes. Horses, asses, and zebras represent three extant subgenera of Equus lineage, while the Sussemionus subgenus is another ...

Detomidine and butorphanol for standing sedation in a range of zoo-kept ungulate species [PDF]
, 2017 General anesthesia poses risks for larger zoo species, like cardiorespiratory depression, myopathy, and hyperthermia. In ruminants, ruminal bloat and regurgitation of rumen contents with potential aspiration pneumonia are added risks.

Mitochondrial DNA lineages of Italian Giara and Sarcidano horses [PDF]
, 2014 Giara and Sarcidano are 2 of the 15 extant native Italian horse breeds with limited dispersal capability that originated from a larger number of individuals. The 2 breeds live in two distinct isolated locations on the island of Sardinia. To determine the

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

What Is Equus? Reconciling Taxonomy and Phylogenetic Analyses
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Interest in the origin and evolution of Equus dates back to over a century, but there is still no consensus on the definition of the genus or its phylogenetic position. We review the placement of Equus within several phylogenetic frameworks and present a

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.
