Losing the forest for the tree? On the wisdom of subpopulation management

Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 591-604, September/October 2023., 2023
Disagreement over species, subspecies, and ESU definitions and poor support for many population designations interacts with concerns over hybridization and outbreeding depression to promote subpopulation management. Conversely, managing populations as gene pools rather than taxonomic units allows for larger population sizes and reduced extinction risk.

Gaps in mammal conservation in China: An analysis with a framework based on minimum area requirements

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 18, Page 5224-5239, September 2023., 2023
Climate change, habitat loss, and human disturbance are endangering biodiversity. Protecting habitats requires a global effort to establish effective protected areas and halt biodiversity decline. In China, conservation management is often carried out based on administrative divisions.

Cloning in action: can embryo splitting, induced pluripotency and somatic cell nuclear transfer contribute to endangered species conservation?

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1225-1249, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The term ‘cloning’ refers to the production of genetically identical individuals but has meant different things throughout the history of science: a natural means of reproduction in bacteria, a routine procedure in horticulture, and an ever‐evolving gamut of molecular technologies in vertebrates.

Out of the stable: Social disruption and concurrent shifts in the feral mare (Equus caballus) fecal microbiota

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
We investigated the effects of increased social instability, as determined by the number of group changes made by females, on the microbiota in free‐living, feral horses (Equus caballus) on Shackleford Banks, a barrier island off the North Carolina coast.

Assessing the efficacy of medetomidine and tiletamine-zolazepam for remote immobilisation of feral horses (Equus caballus) [PDF]

, 2014
Context The study of any wild animal's home range requires the collection of spatiotemporal data, obtained independently of climatic conditions or time of day. This can be achieved by the attachment of global positioning system (GPS) data loggers, which,

EQUINE PIROPLASMOSES AT THE REINTRODUCTION SITE OF THE PRZEWALSKI'S HORSE (EQUUS FERUS PRZEWALSKII) IN MONGOLIA [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2006
Piroplasmosis has been identified as a possible cause of mortality in reintroduced Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) in the Dsungarian Gobi (Mongolia). A cross-sectional and a longitudinal study were conducted in a representative sample (n = 141) of the resident domestic horse population and in 23 Przewalski's horses to assess the ...

Acute phase reactants in nondomesticated mammals—A veterinary clinical pathology perspective

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 52, Issue S1, Page 19-36, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Applications for acute phase reactants (APRs) in nondomesticated mammals include identifying inflammatory disease, monitoring the course of specific disease processes and recovery during rehabilitation, detecting preclinical or subclinical disease, being used as bioindicators for monitoring population and ecosystem health, and as markers of ...

Epigenetic Variability of the Highly Endangered Przewalski’s Horses in Temporal and Geographical Populations

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
Despite the successful conservation of the Przewalski’s horse (PH), Equus ferus przewalskii Groves, 1986 in captivity and reintroduction attempts in Mongolia, there is little knowledge on the genetic variability of these populations.

Trends in demography, genetics, and social structure of Przewalski’s horses in the Hortobagy National Park, Hungary over the last 22 years

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The world population of Przewalski’s horses has recovered from very few survivors, and is still categorized as “Endangered” in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
