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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Understanding multiple pathways of the impacts of socio‐economic shocks on large carnivores

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 3104-3125, November 2025.
Abstract Large carnivores are ecologically, economically and socially important, but they are also among the most threatened species worldwide. These species face numerous threats, most importantly habitat transformation, prey depletion and hunting.

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.

Changes in utilization of canal crossing structures by desert mammal communities during the COVID‐19 lockdown

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We investigated desert mammals' utilization of canal wildlife crossing structures (WCSs) in Xinjiang, China, employing COVID‐19 lockdowns as a natural experiment to evaluate anthropogenic disturbance effects. Camera trap data for four focal species revealed shifts in encounter rates, activity patterns, and predator‐prey interactions across pandemic ...

Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2229-2259, October 2025.
Abstract Drones are increasingly popular for collecting behaviour data of group‐living animals, offering inexpensive and minimally disruptive observation methods. Imagery collected by drones can be rapidly analysed using computer vision techniques to extract information, including behaviour classification, habitat analysis and identification of ...

Assessing the success of conservation translocation establishment: Post‐translocation demography of Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis) in Uganda

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
Conservation translocations are crucial for restoring and bolstering wild populations of species that are either extirpated or rapidly declining. Evaluating their success requires understanding population ecology metrics and conducting long‐term monitoring, yet outcomes are often underreported.
