Tracking wild asses

Caption

Saeideh Esmaeili, a recent graduate from UW’s Program in Ecology, tracks onagers, also known as Asiatic wild asses, in Qatrouiyeh National Park in southern Iran. She and other researchers documented that movements of onagers and other members of the horse family are driven by water availability, while movements of small-bodied ruminants are driven by forage quality.
