Stable isotopes reveal diet shift from pre-extinction to reintroduced Przewalski’s horses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), the only remaining wild horse within the equid family, is one of only a handful of species worldwide that went extinct in the wild, was saved by captive breeding, and has been successfully returned to the

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates

open access: yesBiological 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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesJournal 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

Oviposition site selection by Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) in its habitat in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China

open access: yesParasite, 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.

You lick me, I like you: understanding the function of allogrooming in ungulates

open access: yesMammal 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.

Advanced assisted reproduction technologies in endangered mammalian species

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 59, Issue S3, October 2024.
Abstract A new synergistic approach of classical conservation strategies combined with advanced assisted reproduction technologies (aART) allows for protection and rescue of endangered keystone species at the brink of extinction, which can help to safeguard complex ecosystems.

Management lessons from a long‐term captive‐breeding program for a critically endangered species, Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2024.
We found that there is no difference in longevity between genetic subgroups, origin, institution, or sex in the captive Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri. When fecundity was analyzed, the historic population had a small subset of successful males and females.

Age-dependent dynamics of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi infections in southwest Mongolia based on IFAT and/or PCR prevalence data from domestic horses and ticks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Epidemiological factors of tick-borne equine piroplasmoses, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi, were investigated using logistic regression (GLM) and general additive models (GAM) based on the prevalences determined in 510 domestic horses and ...
