A high density SNP array for the domestic horse and extant Perissodactyla: utility for association mapping, genetic diversity, and phylogeny studies. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
An equine SNP genotyping array was developed and evaluated on a panel of samples representing 14 domestic horse breeds and 18 evolutionarily related species. More than 54,000 polymorphic SNPs provided an average inter-SNP spacing of ∼43 kb.

Biochemical Engineering Perspective on cGAS: From Enzyme Discovery to Potential Industrial Application

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
This review examines the structural and enzymatic properties of cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase, including substrate promiscuity, homologs, and engineered variants. In addition, it evaluates potential expression systems for large‐scale enzyme production and analyzes reaction and purification strategies for the synthesis of cyclic dinucleotides to connect ...

Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal Species

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes.

WildWing: An open‐source, autonomous and affordable UAS for animal behaviour video monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 291-300, February 2026.
Abstract Drones have become invaluable tools for studying animal behaviour in the wild, enabling researchers to collect aerial video data of group‐living animals. However, manually piloting drones to track animal groups consistently is challenging due to complex factors such as terrain, vegetation, group spread and movement patterns. The variability in

Accurate Runs of Homozygosity Estimation From Low Coverage Genome Sequences in Non‐Model Species

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analysed using whole genome sequences in non‐model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful information for conservation. However, most studies have used Plink for ROH inference which performs poorly when sequencing depth is below 10×, often ...

Vocal expression of emotional valence in Przewalski’s horses (Equus przewalskii)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Vocal expression of emotions has been suggested to be conserved throughout evolution. However, since vocal indicators of emotions have never been compared between closely related species using similar methods, it remains unclear whether this is the case.

Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 Follow‐Up of the 2024 Outbreak in Two Belgian Zoos

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In summer 2024, Western Europe experienced extensive outbreaks of bluetongue virus Serotype 3 (BTV‐3), a Culicoides‐borne orbivirus. Clinical disease was first detected in August 2024 in one of two Belgian zoos, predominantly affecting European bison (Bison bonasus) and American bison (Bison bison).
