Equid Bibliography

Prepared by the Equid Specialist Group, IUCN-Species Survival Commission

Last updated: June 2005

The following list of references derives from the collected bibliographies of several members of the Equid Specialist Group. We have tried to include only those references relevant to the ecology, behavior, and conservation of wild or feral equid populations. For example, there is a large literature on domestic horses that we have not attempted to include. We fully realize that this list is incomplete. We will try to update it at least annually. To help us, please send full references you think should be included (or excluded) to either Mace Hack () or Sarah King ().
