PEI Faculty Seminar Series: Horses, Zebras and Asses: What Their Behavioral Ecology Reveals About Environmental Patterns, Processes and Policy
Fall 2017 PEI Faculty Seminar Series – 9/19/2017
Dan Rubenstein, Class of 1877 Professor of Zoology, Director of the Program in Environmental Studies
Although closely related, horses, zebras and asses have had vastly different interactions with humans, from being valued for labor and transport to being considered pests. Rubenstein will identify the unique features of each animal that explain why co-existence with people has been harder for some species than others. Those same fundamental behavioral patterns — and the ecological forces that shape them — can instruct policies that better conserve endangered equids such as mustangs and improve human interactions with wild species overall.
