Imputed genomes of historical horses provide insights into modern breeding

iScience, 2023
Summary: Historical genomes can provide important insights into recent genomic changes in horses, especially the development of modern breeds. In this study, we characterized 8.7 million genomic variants from a panel of 430 horses from 73 breeds ...

Stable isotopes reveal diet shift from pre-extinction to reintroduced Przewalski’s horses

Scientific Reports, 2017
The Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), the only remaining wild horse within the equid family, is one of only a handful of species worldwide that went extinct in the wild, was saved by captive breeding, and has been successfully returned to the

Indexes of pasturable ecology of Equus ferus przewalskii (Equidae) in steppes of the Western Manych Valley (south-east of the Rostov Region, Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
In 2015–2016, we studied the species composition, above-ground phytomass and feeding habits of semi-free Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) in a natural pasture of the steppe valley of the Western Manych. The above-ground mass of plants on the
