Assessing the links between group changing behavior and aggression in feral horses

Nunez CM. Assessing the links between group changing behavior and aggression in feral horses. Research Permit and Reporting System

The costs of decreased social stability in group-living species across multiple organismal systems (including behavior and stress physiology) have not been fully documented. In addition, it is unclear how habitat features may alter these costs. Only by uncovering such interactions can we fully understand the evolutionary drivers and fitness consequences of sociality across species. My work addresses this knowledge gap in the Shackleford Banks, NC population of free-ranging feral horses (Equus c
