Biodiversitätsmanagement mit Wasserbüffeln in renaturierten Feuchtgebieten [PDF]
, 2013 The use of water buffalos for landscape maintenance started ten years ago in Germany. Now, more than 2,100 buffalos are kept by about 90 breeders, and first results concerning their usefulness for landscape management are available.

A 'long-fuse domestication' of the horse? Tooth shape suggests explosive change in modern breeds compared with extinct populations and living Przewalski's horses [PDF]
, 2016 Archaeological and molecular data suggest that horses were domesticated comparatively recently, the genetic evidence indicating that this was from several maternal haplotypes but only a single paternal one. However, although central to our understanding

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.The genotype of the rs397152648 SNP was completely monomorphic (C/C genotype) in the Dareshouri horse breed. The SINE insertion was not present in any of the samples. Disapproval of SINE insertion as a useful marker in Dareshouri breed and presence of the rs397152648 SNP in the Myostatin gene (MSTN) in the Dareshouri horses confirm that this breed has ...

Rewilded horses in European nature conservation – a genetics, ethics, and welfare perspective
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 407-427, February 2025.ABSTRACT In recent decades, the integration of horses (Equus ferus) in European rewilding initiatives has gained widespread popularity due to their potential for regulating vegetation and restoring natural ecosystems. However, employing horses in conservation efforts presents important challenges, which we here explore and discuss.

Free-living greylag geese adjust their heart rates and body core temperatures to season and reproductive context [PDF]
, 2018 Animals adaptively regulate their metabolic rate and hence energy expenditure over the annual cycle to cope with energetic challenges. We studied energy management in greylag geese.

Adaptive evolution and functional significance of the PPARGC1A gene across diverse animal species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.This study conducts codon‐based analyses of the PPARGC1A gene across 38 vertebrate species, revealing distinct patterns of evolutionary change. Positive selection pressures were observed at specific codon sites, particularly 4, 11, 66, and 123, with codon 137 displaying the most pronounced selective advantage.

Age-dependent dynamics of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi infections in southwest Mongolia based on IFAT and/or PCR prevalence data from domestic horses and ticks [PDF]
, 2017 Epidemiological factors of tick-borne equine piroplasmoses, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi, were investigated using logistic regression (GLM) and general additive models (GAM) based on the prevalences determined in 510 domestic horses and ...

You lick me, I like you: understanding the function of allogrooming in ungulates
Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 373-386, October 2024.Allogrooming has hygienic, physiological, and social consequences, including exchanging benefits in a biological market, post‐conflict reconciliation, and long‐term social bond formation. The relevant importance of these functions is largely undetermined in many non‐primate taxa, including ungulates.
