Genetic diversity of common Gasterophilus spp. from distinct habitats in China
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Gasterophilus species are widely distributed around the world. The larvae of these flies parasitize the digestive tract of equids and cause damage, hindering horse breeding and protection of endangered species.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Differentiation of Meat Samples from Domestic Horses ( Equus caballus ) and Asiatic Wild Asses ( Equus hemionus ) Using a Species-Speci fi c Restriction Site in the Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Region [PDF]
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006 Recent studies suggest that Asiatic wild asses ( Equus hemionus ) are being increasingly poached in a commercial fashion. Part of the meat is believed to reach the meat markets in the capital Ulaanbaatar.

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...
