Coexistence between Przewalski's horse and Asiatic wild ass in the desert: The importance of people
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

ABSTRACT Background Current laboratory reference values for serum insulin concentrations do not account for seasonal fluctuations and differences associated with breed, sex, and age. Hypothesis We hypothesized that serum insulin concentrations would differ with the season, breed, sex, and age. Animals Laboratory records from 21 236 cases. Methods Cases

Anthropomorphic Imagery of Animals (Dragons and Horses) in the Works of Michael ende and C. S. Lewis [PDF]
