Lights and Landscapes: More‐Than‐Human Nature in Near‐Death Experiences as Reconciliation in a Time of Ecological Crisis

open access: yesDialog, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores lights and landscapes as depicted in near‐death experiences (NDEs). NDEs are specific experiences, which human beings with a (perceived) close brush with death may have and later recall, often including seeing a brilliant light and sometimes traveling to unearthly dimensions, which may or may not include landscapes.

Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2229-2259, October 2025.
Abstract Drones are increasingly popular for collecting behaviour data of group‐living animals, offering inexpensive and minimally disruptive observation methods. Imagery collected by drones can be rapidly analysed using computer vision techniques to extract information, including behaviour classification, habitat analysis and identification of ...

A framework for fast, large‐scale, semi‐automatic inference of animal behaviour from monocular videos

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1966-1982, September 2025.
Abstract An automatic, quick, accurate and scalable method for animal behaviour inference using only videos of animals offers unprecedented opportunities to understand complex biological phenomena and answer challenging ecological questions. The advent of sophisticated machine learning techniques now allows the development and implementation of such a ...

Feral horses at the city gate: ecological insights and rewilding opportunity

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
Using motion‐sensitive cameras, we monitored the spatial and temporal distribution of the feral horse population in the La Calvana Natura 2000 site in central Italy. We estimated that the population was growing and horses were present in 40% of the sampled area.

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

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1078-1090, May 2025.
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

The Seasonality of Serum Insulin Concentrations in Equids and the Association With Breed, Age, and Sex

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
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

First report of multinodular pulmonary fibrosis associated with equine herpesvirus 5 in Belgium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A 20-year-old horse was evaluated for symptoms of weight loss, anorexia, fever and lethargy. Clinical examination revealed tachypnea, poor body condition and increased breath sounds on auscultation. Ultrasound showed multiple consolidations on the lungs.

Genomic Insights into Post‐Domestication Expansion and Selection of Body Size in Ponies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 16, April 24, 2025.
The authors’ research delves into the history of ponies by assembling a pony genome and integrating horse genomes. This unveils genetic connections between Asian and European pony breeds. Cis‐regulatory elements of key genes impacting body size are also identified.

Utilization Patterns and Optimization Suggestions for Wildlife Passages in Xinjiang Nature Reserves

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Linear infrastructure expansion poses a significant threat to biodiversity. We surveyed and monitored wildlife passages in eight Xinjiang nature reserves, assessing construction status, utilization patterns, and influencing factors. This study provides conservation strategies to improve wildlife passage construction and management, ensuring effective ...
