- A close look at the gnu goats including, the budorcas in the family Bovidae subfamily Caprinae, explains the intricate and dynamic taxonomic variations of goat-antelopes.
- Scientists argue that the physical characteristics of the budorcas are crucial in connecting this species of gnu goats to the Capricornis taxonomic lineage.
- Scientists try to correlate several DNA comparisons revealing the complex evolutionary status and close lineage affinity of budorcas and the Capra genus, distinct cousins of goat-antelopes that consist of gnu goats.
