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

Dietary experience modifies horses' feeding behavior and selection patterns of three macronutrient rich diets [PDF]

, 2014
Choice feeding is often used to investigate an animal’s nutritional requirements and dietary preferences. A problem with this approach is that animals with long gut transit times, such as the horse, may find it difficult to associate a chosen food with ...
