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 ...

Horse Welfare and Natural Values on Semi-Natural and Extensive Pastures in Finland: Synergies and Trade-Offs [PDF]

, 2017
In several regions in Europe, the horse is becoming a common grazer on semi-natural and cultivated grasslands, though the pasturing benefits for animals and biodiversity alike are not universally appreciated.

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.

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.

Collapse of the world's largest herbivores [PDF]

, 2015
Large wild herbivores are crucial to ecosystems and human societies. We highlight the 74 largest terrestrial herbivore species on Earth (body mass ≥100 kg), the threats they face, their important and often overlooked ecosystem effects, and the ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
