Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...

Refining the evolutionary tree of the horse Y chromosome

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Y chromosome carries information about the demography of paternal lineages, and thus, can prove invaluable for retracing both the evolutionary trajectory of wild animals and the breeding history of domesticates.

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.

Przewalski's horse — putting the wild horse back in the wild [PDF]

Oryx, 1988
Efforts are under way to re-establish free-living populations of Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii from zoo-bred individuals. The time is opportune to begin such initiatives as there are more than 660 individuals dispersed in over 70 zoological collections.

Inbreeding in a Fission–Fusion Equid Decreases Following an Increase in the Number and Redistribution of Water Sources

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Social structures and habitat configuration influence inbreeding in wild populations. In harem‐forming, female‐defence polygynous equids, social organization promotes inbreeding avoidance, but this has not been studied in fission–fusion, resource‐defence equid species.

A high density SNP array for the domestic horse and extant Perissodactyla: utility for association mapping, genetic diversity, and phylogeny studies. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
An equine SNP genotyping array was developed and evaluated on a panel of samples representing 14 domestic horse breeds and 18 evolutionarily related species. More than 54,000 polymorphic SNPs provided an average inter-SNP spacing of ∼43 kb.

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2104-2115, July 2026.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Vocal expression of emotional valence in Przewalski’s horses (Equus przewalskii)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Vocal expression of emotions has been suggested to be conserved throughout evolution. However, since vocal indicators of emotions have never been compared between closely related species using similar methods, it remains unclear whether this is the case.

Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Capture and Anaesthesia of Wild Mongolian Equids – the Przewalski’s Horse ( Equus ferus przewalskii ) and Khulan ( E. hemionus ) [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006
Science-based conservation efforts in general, and wide-ranging equid conservation speci fi cally, of- ten require capture and subsequent handling of the subject animal.
