Theriologia Ukrainica, 2020 The present study is aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity, genetic status and the extent of hybridization with the domestic horse for the Przhevalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii Poliakov 1881) population free-ranging in the territory of the ...

Whole genome sequence and analysis of the Marwari horse breed and its genetic origin [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of the earliest domesticated species and has played an important role in the development of human societies over the past 5,000 years.

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

Genetic diversity of common Gasterophilus spp. from distinct habitats in China
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Gasterophilus species are widely distributed around the world. The larvae of these flies parasitize the digestive tract of equids and cause damage, hindering horse breeding and protection of endangered species.

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

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.

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 ...

Horses as Sources of Proprietary Information: Commercialization, Conservation, and Compensation Pursuant to the Convention on Biological Diversity [PDF]
, 2014 Horses indigenous to East and Southeast (E/SE) Asia, including native, landrace, feral, and wild populations, embody valuable genetic diversity. Conservation efforts for animals have largely been driven by humane altruism, with little consideration for ...
