A new scientific reply challenges claims against European bison rewilding in the Iberian Peninsula, arguing that current evidence is insufficient to rule out their historical presence or ecological suitability. The authors call for a balanced, evidence-based debate, emphasizing that further interdisciplinary research is essential before drawing firm conclusions on the species’ role in future conservation strategies.

 A new international study reveals that origin matters for reintroduced Przewalski’s horses: wild-born individuals use higher-quality habitats more effectively, while released horses continue adapting to natural conditions. The findings highlight how experience, seasonal changes, and human presence shape behaviour, offering valuable guidance for improving conservation and reintroduction strategies.

Paternal behaviour of stallions was revealed in the study of our team members in collaboration with colleagues from the University of South Bohemia, which was recently published in the prestigious journal Animal Cognition.
