Origins and diversity of Exmoor ponies: A mitogenome framework for assessing maternal lineage diversification in endangered pony breeds

2025-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In response to growing concerns over human-driven biodiversity loss, rewilding efforts increasingly employ semi-wild herbivores to restore ecosystems. The Exmoor pony is often cited as an ancient breed retaining primitive traits suited for such projects, yet its genetic history remains underexplored. We combined studbook records, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop, and whole mitogenome sequences t...
