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.

Analysis of habitat use, activity, and body condition scores of Przewalski's horses in Hortobagy National Park, Hungary

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
A founder population of Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) was set free in a semi-reserve called Pentezug in the Hortobagy National Park (Hungary) in 1997.

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

Genetic variability and history of a native Finnish horse breed

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background The Finnhorse was established as a breed more than 110 years ago by combining local Finnish landraces. Since its foundation, the breed has experienced both strong directional selection, especially for size and colour, and severe population ...

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 ...

Shape variation and modularity of skull and teeth in domesticated horses and wild equids

Frontiers in Zoology, 2018
Background In horses, the morphological changes induced by the process of domestication are reportedly less pronounced than in other species, such as dogs or pigs – although the horses’ disparity has rarely been empirically tested.

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).

Curr ent Status of the Przewalski’s Horse Populations Reintroduced to Mongolia [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007
In 1992 the reintroduction program of the Przewalski’s horses in Mongolia was initiated, and totally 84 individuals of Przewalski’s horses were brought to the Hustai National Park between 1992 and 2000.

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2257-2284, December 2025.
ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

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

Dialog, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 196-203, Winter 2025.
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.
