Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Parasite, 2015 Oviposition site selection is an important aspect of the behavioural ecology of insects. A comparison of the habitats used by a species enhances our understanding of their adaptation to altered environments.

Accurate Runs of Homozygosity Estimation From Low Coverage Genome Sequences in Non‐Model Species
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analysed using whole genome sequences in non‐model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful information for conservation. However, most studies have used Plink for ROH inference which performs poorly when sequencing depth is below 10×, often ...

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2257-2284, December 2025.ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Feral horses at the city gate: ecological insights and rewilding opportunity
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.Using motion‐sensitive cameras, we monitored the spatial and temporal distribution of the feral horse population in the La Calvana Natura 2000 site in central Italy. We estimated that the population was growing and horses were present in 40% of the sampled area.

Coexistence between Przewalski's horse and Asiatic wild ass in the desert: The importance of people
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1078-1090, May 2025.Our findings highlight the importance of people in permitting sympatric coexistence during resource scarcity. However, human involvement requires careful management. Increased human presence may benefit horses but restrict wild asses' access to some quality waters, potentially weakening their climate resilience. Abstract Przewalski's horses and Asiatic

You lick me, I like you: understanding the function of allogrooming in ungulates
Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 373-386, October 2024.Allogrooming has hygienic, physiological, and social consequences, including exchanging benefits in a biological market, post‐conflict reconciliation, and long‐term social bond formation. The relevant importance of these functions is largely undetermined in many non‐primate taxa, including ungulates.
