Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 409-431, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

I rinvenimenti di cavallo (Equus caballus L., 1758) nei depositi di età medievale [PDF]

, 2016
Riassunto – E’ opinione diffusa e largamente condivisa, essendo supportata dalle evidenze conservate nelle fonti scritte, che il cavallo sia stato tra i principali protagonisti della ripresa economica dei secoli bassomedievali, generata dalla cosiddetta ...

Efficacy of 0.5% Tretinoin in the Treatment of Equine Aural Plaques

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 664-671, October 2026.
Background: Equine aural plaques are a benign form of auricular papillomatosis caused by equine papillomavirus. Despite the efficacy of 5% imiquimod cream, a marked local reaction is frequently observed during therapy, often requiring sedation before application.

The Roles of Contrasting Host Types on the Environmental Abundance of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we analysed data collected at 40 sites in the Northwest of Scotland (from 2018 to 2020) to quantify the relative contributions of hypothesised pathogen transmission hosts (deer and sheep) and non‐transmission hosts (birds and rodents) on the environmental abundance of ecotypes I and II of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Our results add to our

Exercise‐specific plasma proteomic signatures in racehorses: Candidates for training adaptation and peak load monitoring

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1396-1412, September 2026.
Abstract Background Racehorses undergo profound physiological changes with training and competition, but current biomarkers inadequately capture the complex molecular dynamics of exercise. This study aimed to identify novel plasma biomarkers of training adaptation and peak load using high‐throughput proteomics.

Physiological features of the antioxidant system of the Equus caballus organism of different genotypes

RUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries
In modern physiology, the features of the functional state of the body are increasingly being studied not in terms of breeds, age, and animal husbandry technologies, but in terms of DNA markers. Therefore, in this aspect, it is interesting to compare the

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

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
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.

Chromosome Complement: A Fertile Hybrid between Equus prjewalskii and Equus caballus

, 1966
At the Zoological Garden of Antwerp it has been proved that when Equus prjewalskii is crossed with E. caballus the offspring is fertile. As expected, its diploid chromosome number is 65.

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 587-603, September 2026.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.
