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.

Advancements and challenges in in vitro reproductive technologies for the conservation of equine species

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have been proposed as a potential complementary strategy to other conservation efforts aimed at addressing the pressing challenges associated with managing endangered species.

Ontogeny of behavior in Przewalski horses

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1988
Abstract Twelve colts and 12 fillies were observed during their first 2 years of life. Data on the foal's nearest neighbor, distance to dam and stallion, and time budget were compiled by age. The birth of one foal was witnessed. During their first month of life, Przewalski foals were dependent on the dam.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Epigenetic Variability of the Highly Endangered Przewalski’s Horses in Temporal and Geographical Populations

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
Despite the successful conservation of the Przewalski’s horse (PH), Equus ferus przewalskii Groves, 1986 in captivity and reintroduction attempts in Mongolia, there is little knowledge on the genetic variability of these populations.

Genetic variability and history of a native Finnish horse breed

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background The Finnhorse was established as a breed more than 110 years ago by combining local Finnish landraces. Since its foundation, the breed has experienced both strong directional selection, especially for size and colour, and severe population ...

Shape variation and modularity of skull and teeth in domesticated horses and wild equids

Frontiers in Zoology, 2018
Background In horses, the morphological changes induced by the process of domestication are reportedly less pronounced than in other species, such as dogs or pigs – although the horses’ disparity has rarely been empirically tested.

Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal Species

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes.

WildWing: An open‐source, autonomous and affordable UAS for animal behaviour video monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 291-300, February 2026.
Abstract Drones have become invaluable tools for studying animal behaviour in the wild, enabling researchers to collect aerial video data of group‐living animals. However, manually piloting drones to track animal groups consistently is challenging due to complex factors such as terrain, vegetation, group spread and movement patterns. The variability in

Accurate Runs of Homozygosity Estimation From Low Coverage Genome Sequences in Non‐Model Species

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analysed using whole genome sequences in non‐model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful information for conservation. However, most studies have used Plink for ROH inference which performs poorly when sequencing depth is below 10×, often ...
