MALDI-TOF-MS reference spectra and sequence data for domesticated equids (horse and donkey) collagen for Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS)
<p>MALDI-TOF-MS spectra of extracted collagen from modern reference and archaeological bone samples to develop markers for Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) to distinguish between Equus species. For each sample digestions were done in both trypsin and chymotrypsin separately. Information about the species of the samples can be found in 'sample metadata.csv' file. Information on the extraction and digestion protocol can be found in the associated manuscript. The sequence data contains alignments of the proteins COL1A1 and COL1A2 for available Equus collagen protein sequences. More information on these files can be found in the corresponding manuscript to this dataset.<br> </p>

Medieval Gilded Donkey Figurine
Culture: [Medieval](http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0gjgrsxwzx) Material: bronze (gilded). Dims: H 8cm Accession No: MG 139/025 Current Location: [The Hunt Museum](https://www.huntmuseum.com/) [Limerick](https://www.geonames.org/7778675/limerick-city.html). A gilded bronze donkey with a [bridle](http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300248092) of browband, noseband, cheek-strap and throat-strap. A hole in its back suggests a saddle or pannier. The gilding has mostly worn away on the centre back. The four hooves are clearly defined and the long tail hangs straight. The ears sit up straight and the mouth is slightly open. Opposing holes on the mouth suggest a [bit](http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300248085) and reins were attached. Domestic donkeys have origins in Egypt c.4000BC. They were vital to trade route expansion and later the Roman Empire relied on donkeys as pack animals to navigate routes such as the Silk Road from the second-century BC.

A novel trophic cascade between cougars and feral donkeys shapes desert wetlands
<p>Introduced large herbivores have partly filled ecological gaps formed in the late Pleistocene, when many of the Earth's megafauna were driven extinct. However, extant predators are generally considered incapable of exerting top-down influences on introduced megafauna, leading to unusually strong disturbance and herbivory relative to native herbivores.</p> <p>We report on the first documented predation of juvenile feral donkeys (<em>Equus africanus asinus</em>) by cougars (<em>Puma concolor</em>) in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts of North America. We then investigated how cougar predation corresponds with differences in feral donkey behavior and associated effects on desert wetlands.</p> <p>Focusing on a feral donkey population in Death Valley National Park, we compared donkey activity patterns and impacts between wetlands with and without cougar predation.</p> <p>Donkeys were primarily diurnal at wetlands with cougar predation, thereby avoiding cougars. However, donkeys were active throughout the day and night at sites without predation. Donkeys were ~87% less active (measured as hours of activity a day) at wetlands with predation (p<0.0001). Sites with predation had reduced donkey disturbance and herbivory, including ~46% fewer access trails, 43% less trampled bare ground, and 192% more canopy cover (PERMANOVA, R<sup>2</sup> = 0.22, p=0.0003).</p> <p>Our study is the first to reveal a trophic cascade involving cougars, feral equids, and vegetation. Cougar predation appears to rewire an ancient food web, with diverse implications for modern ecosystems. Our results suggest that protecting apex predators could have important implications for the ecological effects of introduced megafauna.</p>
Donkey Boiler
A donkey boiler located in No.3 Slip at Chatham Historic Dockyard, Kent. From the info board: "Donkey boilers were used around the dockyard as portable boilers. They were especially useful for providing hot water to ships which couldn't produce their own when their engines were stopped" 274 photos taken in November 2021 with a Sony a7R III and processed in Reality Capture.

Data from: Ancient DNA provides new insight into the maternal lineages and domestication of Chinese donkeys
Background: The donkey (Equus asinus) is an important domestic animal that provides a reliable source of protein and method of transportation for many human populations. However, the process of domestication and the dispersal routes of the Chinese donkey are still unclear, as donkey remains are sparse in the archaeological record and often confused with horse remains. To explore the maternal origins and dispersal route of Chinese donkeys, both mitochondrial DNA D-loop and cytochrome b gene fragments of 21 suspected donkey remains from four archaeological sites in China were amplified and sequenced.Results: Molecular methods of species identification show that 17 specimens were donkeys and three samples had the maternal genetic signature of horses. One sample that dates to about 20,000 years before present failed to amplify. In this study, the phylogenetic analysis reveals that ancient Chinese donkeys have high mitochondrial DNA diversity and two distinct mitochondrial maternal lineages, known as the Somali and Nubian lineages. These results indicate that the maternal origin of Chinese domestic donkeys was probably related to the African wild ass, which includes the Nubian wild ass (Equus africanus africanus) and the Somali wild ass (Equus africanus somaliensis). Combined with historical records, the results of this study implied that domestic donkeys spread into west and north China before the emergence of the Han dynasty. The number of Chinese domestic donkeys had increased primarily to meet demand for the expansion of trade, and they were likely used as commodities or for shipping goods along the Silk Road during the Tang Dynasty, when the Silk Road reached its golden age. Conclusions: This study is the first to provide valuable ancient animal DNA evidence for early trade between African and Asian populations. The ancient DNA analysis of Chinese donkeys also sheds light on the dynamic process of the maternal origin, domestication, and dispersal route of ancient Chinese donkeys.
