Cruelty and Tragedy: Cathartic Journey in Peter Shaffer's Equus

Ideas: Journal of English Literary Studies
The concept of catharsis has evolved much since Aristotle defined it in Poetics as the purgation of feelings such as pity and fear caused by an imitation of a tragic action.

Dispersal of Pleistocene Equus (Family Equidae) into South America and calibration of GABI 3 based on evidence from Tarija, Bolivia.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The dispersal of Equus into South America during the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) represented a major event for Pleistocene land-mammal age chronology on that continent.

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, EarlyView.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Physiological and behavioural effects of continuous remifentanil‐xylazine administration in donkeys

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Remifentanil and xylazine are used as continuous infusions to facilitate standing surgery in horses. Their use for this purpose has not been reported in donkeys. Objectives To evaluate the behavioural, sedative, and cardiorespiratory effects of continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil and xylazine in donkeys. Study Design Non‐

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

DNA Methylation of Igf2r Promoter CpG Island 2 Governs Cis-Acting Inheritance and Gene Dosage in Equine Hybrids

Biology
Genomic imprinting is critical for mammalian development, but its regulation varies across species. The insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R), which is a maternally expressed imprinted gene critical for cell proliferation and differentiation, as ...

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Mitochondrial DNA genetic variations among four horse populations in Egypt

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2017
Horses are one of the early domesticated animals in the world that changed societies and civilizations on a continent-wide scale. Due to the rare information about the genetic characterization of different horse populations in Egypt, this study aimed to ...

Integrative Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals Stage‐Specific Signalling and Metabolism in Equine Melanocytic Neoplasm

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Equine melanocytic neoplasms (EMN) are aggressive tumours characterised by high metastatic potential and limited therapeutic options available. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their progression remain poorly understood. This study therefore presents the integrative phosphoproteomic analysis of EMN tissue, with the aim of ...
