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

Mammal 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.

Fecal ARGs characterized progressive feralization of Przewalski's horses via re-introduction

Global Ecology and Conservation
Re-introduction of captive endangering or extinct animals to their native habitats holds profound ecological significance. But evaluating the feralization progress of re-introduced “wild” animals requires concise and quantitative indicator(s) to ...

Genome‐wide population affinities and signatures of adaptation in hydruntines, sussemiones and Asian wild asses

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.
Abstract The extremely rich palaeontological record of the horse family, also known as equids, has provided many examples of macroevolutionary change over the last ~55 Mya. This family is also one of the most documented at the palaeogenomic level, with hundreds of ancient genomes sequenced.

Vertebrate TFPI-2 C-terminal peptides exert therapeutic applications against Gram-negative infections [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) is a serine protease inhibitor that exerts multiple physiological and patho-physiological activities involving the modulation of coagulation, angiogenesis, tumor invasion, and apoptosis.

Identification of Herder-Wild Equid Conflicts in the Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area in SW Mongolia [PDF]

, 2007
In protected areas of Mongolian overgrazing, competition with wild ungulates and poaching are important management concerns. The Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area (SPA) in SW Mongolia is a re-introduction site for the Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus ...

Bayesian inference of natural selection from allele frequency time series

, 2016
The advent of accessible ancient DNA technology now allows the direct ascertainment of allele frequencies in ancestral populations, thereby enabling the use of allele frequency time series to detect and estimate natural selection.

Local origin or external input: modern horse origin in East Asia

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Despite decades of research, the horse domestication scenario in East Asia remains poorly understood. Results The study identified 16 haplogroups with fine-scale phylogenetic resolution using mitochondrial genomes of 317 horse samples.

Understanding the Reproductive Biology of the Przewalski's Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii) [PDF]

, 2010
The Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus przewalskii) once roamed the Eurasian Steppe but is now considered Critically Endangered with only 1872 individuals remaining in the world, representing progeny from only 14 founder animals (Lee and Boyd, 2008 ...
