Water Use Patterns of Sympatric Przewalski's Horse and Khulan: Interspecific Comparison Reveals Niche Differences. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Acquiring water is essential for all animals, but doing so is most challenging for desert-living animals. Recently Przewalski's horse has been reintroduced to the desert area in China where the last wild surviving member of the species was seen before it

Social Relationships of Captive Bachelor Przewalski’s Horses and Their Effect on Daily Activity and Space Use [PDF]

Animals
Understanding social relationships in at-risk species held in captivity is vital for their welfare and potential reintroduction. In social species like the Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), daily time allocation and space use may be ...

Refining the evolutionary tree of the horse Y chromosome [PDF]

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.
