SURVEY OF ANAPLASMA PHAGOCYTOPHILUM ANTIBODIES IN CAPTIVE PRZEWALSKI'S HORSES (EQUUS FERUS PRZEWALSKII)

open access: greenJournal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2017
Anaplasma phagocytophilum (formerly Ehrlichia equi ) is a tickborne pathogen of domestic horses and the causative agent of equine granulocytic anaplasmosis. After the occurrence of clinical anaplasmosis in a Przewalski's horse ( Equus ferus przewalskii) housed at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2008, opportunistic serosurveillance of ...

Differences of movement pattern between Asiatic wild ass (Equus hemionus) and Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii)

open access: green, 2010
Analysing animal movement reveals how animals interact with their environment and is necessary to understand their foraging behaviour. Due to landscape heterogeneity, species differences, various resource selection and physical features animals show various movement tactics.

Differentiation of Meat Samples from Domestic Horses ( Equus caballus ) and Asiatic Wild Asses ( Equus hemionus ) Using a Species-Speci fi c Restriction Site in the Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Region [PDF]

open access: yesMongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006
Recent studies suggest that Asiatic wild asses ( Equus hemionus ) are being increasingly poached in a commercial fashion. Part of the meat is believed to reach the meat markets in the capital Ulaanbaatar.

Joyful by nature: approaches to investigate the evolution and function of joy in non‐human animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1548-1563, October 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The nature and evolution of positive emotion is a major question remaining unanswered in science and philosophy. The study of feelings and emotions in humans and animals is dominated by discussion of affective states that have negative valence.

Collective decision‐making in aquatic mammals

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 238-253, October 2023., 2023
A framework for determining how decisions on a group level are made by non‐human mammals. These decisions can either be shared (requiring a threshold/majority in a ‘consensus’ decision or an individual choice regarding which option to follow in a ‘combined’ decision) or unshared (where individuals will either follow a single leader in an ‘unshared ...

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

open access: yesZoo 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

open access: yesGlobal 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.
