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.
