Movement initiation in groups of feral horses.
Herds of ungulates, flocks of birds, swarms of insects and schools of fish move in coordinated groups. Computer models show that only one or very few animals are needed to initiate and direct movement. To investigate initiation mechanisms further, we studied two ways in which movement can be initiated in feral horses: herding, and departure from the group. We examined traits affecting the likel...
متن کاملNigropallidal encephalomalacia in horses grazing Rhaponticum repens (creeping knapweed).
Nigropallidal encephalomalacia was diagnosed in two horses in northern Victoria that had a history of long-term pasture access to a dense growth of Rhaponticum repens. The region in which the affected horses lived had received well above average rainfall for several months preceding the poisoning. Affected horses had sudden onset of subcutaneous oedema of the head, impaired prehension and masti...
متن کاملSweet food preference in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
An elderly female developed anarthria with prominent emotionality over an 18month period before specialist neurological assessment. Although tongue electromyography was normal, her corticobulbar signs were consistent with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a pattern that, in the absence of functional impairment outside of speech and swallowing, is appropriately termed progressive bulbar palsy...
متن کاملArousal mediates relations among medial paw preference, lateral paw preference, and spatial preference in the mouse.
Rodents exhibit two well-documented behavioural lateralities: spatial preference and paw preference. Waters and Denenberg [36] have identified two seemingly independent factors of paw preference: medial and lateral paw preference. In the present work, the relations among spatial preference (SP), medial paw preference (MPP), and lateral paw preference (LPP) during states of high and low arousal ...
متن کاملMummy’s boys: sex differential maternal–offspring bonds in semi-feral horses
In polygynous species with high reproductive skew in males, mothers often show differential investment between sons and daughters. Although consistent sex differential investment has not been found by previous studies in horses, maternal investment beyond weaning has often been overlooked. We investigated sex differences in mother–offspring relationships in nutritionally independent sub-adult f...
