Abstract The study of non-human multilevel societies can give us insights into how group-level relationships function and are maintained in a social system, but their mechanisms still poorly understood. aim this was to apply spatial association data obtained from drones verify the presence structure feral horse society. We took aerial photos individuals that appeared pre-fixed areas collected positional data. threshold distance defined based on distribution pattern inter-individual distance....
Abstract It is important to unravel how invasive species impact native ecosystems in order control them effectively. The presence of abundant exotic prey promotes population growth predators, thereby enhancing the predation pressure on (hyper-predation). Not only but also feeding by humans likely cause “hyper-predation”. However, contribution artificial resources this was underestimated previous studies. Here, we combined fecal and stable isotope analyses reveal short- long-term food habits...
Behavioural synchrony among individuals is essential for group-living organisms. The functioning of synchronization in a multilevel society, which nested assemblage multiple social levels between many individuals, remains largely unknown. aim the present study was to build model that explained activity society feral horses. Multi-agent-based models were used based on four hypotheses: A) horses do not synchronize, B) synchronize with any individual unit, C) only within units, and D) across...
Feral horses form relatively stable harems over time that are characterized by long-lasting bonds among their members, a characteristic makes them an exceptional case of social system terrestrial ungulates. Their has been described as uniform despite the wide differences in environment and demography. Horse populations subjected to human interference often show higher levels population instability can ultimately compromise reproductive success. In this article, we describe demographic...
A bstract Behavioural synchrony among individuals is essential for group-living organisms. It still largely unknown how synchronization functions in a multilevel society, which nested assemblage of multiple social levels between many individuals. Our aim was to build model that explained the activity society feral horses. We used multi-agent based models on four hypotheses: A) horses do not synchronize, B) synchronize with any individual unit, C) only within units and D) across units, but...
Abstract The benefits of sociality are not equitably shared among members a social group. position individuals occupy in networks is key to maximizing their fitness and contribution group cohesion, as well stability the network structure. Individuals' highly influenced by intra‐group competition affiliation; therefore, it should be assessed examining various spatial‐social variables. In this study, we examined relationship between proximity, grooming agonistic networks, controlling for...
The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in free-ranging cats on Tokunoshima Island was assessed by testing 125 serum samples using anti-T. IgG indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. overall seropositivity rate 47.2% (59/125). Seropositivity rates with body weight >2.0 kg (57.4%) were significantly higher than those ≤2.0 (12.5%, P<0.01). Analysis the number seropositive settlement revealed presence possibly-infected 17 23 settlements, indicating widespread T. island. This is first...
Despite the long history of horse-human bond, our understanding brain and mind horses remains limited due to lack methods investigate their functions. This study introduces a novel methodology for completely non-invasive, multi-channel recording electroencephalography (EEG) evoked potentials in awake examine equine auditory cortical processing. The new approach utilizes specially designed brush-shaped active electrodes that facilitate stable signal acquisition through hair coat by...
