Implications of Spatial Habitat Diversity on Diet Selection of European Bison and Przewalski’s Horses in a Rewilding Area

Diversity, 2019
In Europe, the interest in introducing megaherbivores to achieve ambitious habitat restoration goals is increasing. In this study, we present the results of a one-year monitoring program in a rewilding project in Germany (Doeberitzer Heide), where ...

Harem size should be measured by more than the sum of its parts: Phenology‐based measurements reveal joint effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on a polygamous herbivore under non‐stationary climatic conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
In our study we investigate harem size phenology and related variation in a large polygamous herbivore, the Przewalski horse, using a 15‐year dataset from an introduced population in Hortobágy National Park, Hungary. Our results demonstrate that intrinsic population processes can play a major role in regulating group size and counter the effects of ...

Indexes of pasturable ecology of Equus ferus przewalskii (Equidae) in steppes of the Western Manych Valley (south-east of the Rostov Region, Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
In 2015–2016, we studied the species composition, above-ground phytomass and feeding habits of semi-free Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) in a natural pasture of the steppe valley of the Western Manych. The above-ground mass of plants on the

Tissue preservation and cell culture of Przewalskii´s horse (Equus przewalskii): an endangered species

Bioscience Journal, 2011
The Przewalskii´s horse or Mongolian wild horse (Equus przewalskii, Poljakov, 1881) is presently the only species of wild horse in existence. Originally from Asia, it is, classified as in extremely high risk of extinction which puts the species in the ...

Is leadership a reliable concept in animals? An empirical study in the horse.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Leadership is commonly invoked when accounting for the coordination of group movements in animals, yet it remains loosely defined. In parallel, there is increased evidence of the sharing of group decisions by animals on the move.

Gut Microbiomes of Endangered Przewalski’s Horse Populations in Short- and Long-Term Captivity: Implication for Species Reintroduction Based on the Soft-Release Strategy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Captivity maybe the only choice for survival of many endangered vertebrates, and understanding its broad effects is important for animal management and conservation, including breeding endangered species for subsequent release.

Analysis of habitat use, activity, and body condition scores of Przewalski's horses in Hortobagy National Park, Hungary

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
A founder population of Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) was set free in a semi-reserve called Pentezug in the Hortobagy National Park (Hungary) in 1997.
