The space use by Przewalski's horses of the semi-free population during first years after their reintroduction to Orenburg State Nature Reserve, Russia

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
In 2015, the Joint Directorate of State Nature Reserves «Orenburg» and «Shaitan-Tau» (FSFI «Orenburg Reserves») launched the Programme on establishing a semi-free population of the Przewalski's horse Equus ferus przewalskii in the 165 km2 Pre-Urals ...

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.

Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Integrative Advances in Equine Genomics From Reference Assemblies to Evolutionary History and Key Traits

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Horses are major domestic animals and cultural symbols that have accompanied humans for millennia. They underpin transport, agriculture, warfare and sport, and also provide a model for studying domestication, complex traits and adaptive evolution.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

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.

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 ...
