lingering effects of contraception management on feral mare (equus caballus) fertility and social behavior.	due to the extirpation of their natural predators, feral horse populations have expanded across the united states, necessitating their management. contraception of females (mares) with porcine zona pellucida (pzp) is a popular option; however, effects to physiology and behavior can be substantial. on shackleford banks, north carolina, usa, treated mares have exhibited cycling during the non-breeding season and demonstrated decreased fidelity to the band stallion, but pzp's long-term effects on m ...	2017	29977561

structural analysis of covid-19 spike protein in recognizing the ace2 receptor of different mammalian species and its susceptibility to viral infection.	the pandemic covid-19 was caused by a novel coronavirus-2 (sars-cov-2) that infects humans through the binding of glycosylated sars-cov-2 spike 2 protein to the glycosylated ace2 receptor. the spike 2 protein recognizes the n-terminal helices of the glycosylated metalloprotease domain in the human ace2 receptor. to understand the susceptibility of animals for infection and transmission, we did sequence and structure-based molecular interaction analysis of 16 ace2 receptors from different mammali ...	2021	33552834
