Title Development and Resolution of Behavioural Problems with the Type Conference Article
Year (up) Publication Havemeier Workshop Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The ideals of equestrian technique combine art and science. Therefore students of equitation

encounter measurable variables such as rhythm, tempo and impulsion alongside more ethereal ones

such as outline and harmony. This mixture accounts for many of the idiosyncrasies of equestrianism

including the subjective scoring of performance in dressage tests, the elusiveness of perfection even at

an elite level of competition and the difficulty of expressing equestrian technique in empirical terms

(Roberts, 1992).

This chapter will describe and offer examples of the unwelcome behavioural responses horses

produce under saddle. Two broad sections are then proposed to allow the reader to consider

unwelcome behavioural responses caused directly by humans as distinct from those attributable more

to the horse than the rider. Ultimately the responsibility for problems in the ridden horse lies with

humans since we have undertaken the domestication and exploitation of equids. Therefore it is

accepted that the dichotomy is not absolute. The chapter closes with a

Title Living in gourps: Evolutionary Perspective Type Book Chapter
Year (up) Publication Social Behavior in Farm Animals Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract An understanding of social behavior is increasingly necessary in farm animal husbandry as more animals are housed in groups rather than in individual stalls or pens. There may be economic or welfare reasons for such housing. This book is the first to specifically address this important subject. The chapters fall into three broad subject areas: concepts in social behavior; species specific chapters; current issues. Authors include leading experts from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

Title Estimating Kaimanawa feral horse population size and growth Type Conference Article
Year (up) Publication SCIENCE & RESEARCH INTERNAL REPORT 185 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Animal flight behaviour in response to aircraft could have a profound influence

on the accuracy and precision of aerial estimates of population size but is rarely

investigated. Using independent observers on the ground and in the air we

recorded the presence and behaviour of 17 groups, including 136 individually

marked horses, during a helicopter count in New Zealand’s Kaimanawa

Mountains. We also compared the helicopter count with ground-based

estimates using mark-resight and line-transect methods in areas ranging from

20.5 to 176 km2. Helicopter counts were from 16% smaller to 54% larger than

ground-based estimates. The helicopter induced a flight response in all horse

groups monitored. During flight, horse groups traveled from 0.1 up to 2.75 km

before leaving the ground observer’s view and temporarily changed in size and

composition. A tenth of the horses were not counted and a quarter counted

twice. A further 23 (17%) may have been counted twice but only two of the

three observers’ records concurred. Thus, the helicopter count over-estimated

the marked sub-population by at least 15% and possibly by up to 32%. The net

over-estimate of the marked sub-population corresponded to the 17% and 13%

difference between helicopter counts and ground-based estimates in the central

study area and for the largest area sampled, respectively. Feral horse flight

behaviour should be considered when designing methods for population

monitoring using aircraft. We identify the characteristics of the helicopter

count that motivated horse flight behaviour. We compared our own recent

estimate of population growth from measures of fecundity and mortality (λ =

1.096 with an earlier-published one (λ = 1.182, where r = 0.167) that had been

derived by interpolating between the available history of single counts. Our

model of population growth, standardised aerial counts, and historical estimates

of annual reproduction suggest that the historical sequence of counts since

1979 probably over-estimated growth because count techniques improved and

greater effort was expended in successive counts. We used line-transect, markresight

and dung density sampling methods for population monitoring and

discuss their advantages and limitations over helicopter counts.

Title mustering of feral horses Type Manuscript
Year (up) Publication Ecology Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Background

Feral horses (Equus caballus) can cause significant environmental damage and losses to

rural industries. Although considered pests, feral horses are also a resource, providing

products such as pet meat for the domestic market and meat for human consumption

for the export market. Control methods include trapping, mustering exclusion fencing,

ground shooting and shooting from helicopters.

Feral horses are mustered by helicopter, motorbike or on horseback, sometimes with the

assistance of coacher horses. Once mustered into yards, net traps or fenced paddocks, the

horses are usually sold to abattoirs for slaughter which can offset the costs of capture and

handling. Less commonly, they are sold as riding horses or relocated to reserves or horse

sanctuaries. Where there is no market for them or where removal may be too costly or

impractical e.g. in conservation areas or remote areas without access to transportation,

horses are sometimes destroyed by shooting in the yards.

This standard operating procedure (SOP) is a guide only; it does not replace or

override the legislation that applies in the relevant State or Territory jurisdiction.

The SOP should only be used subject to the applicable legal requirements (including

OH&S) operating in the relevant jurisdiction.

Title EVIDENCE OF MODULARITY FROM PRIMATE ERRORS DURING TASK LEARNING Type Conference Volume
Year (up) Publication MODELING LANGUAGE, COGNITION AND ACTION Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The last two decades have seen a great deal of theorising and speculation about

the modular nature of human intelligence, as well as a rise in use of modular

architectures in artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, whether such models of natural

intelligence are well supported is still an issue of debate. In this paper, I propose

that the most important criteria for modularity is specialised representations. I

present a modular model of primate learning of the transitive inference task, and

propose an extension to this model which would explain task-learning results in

other domains. I also briefly relate this work to both neuroscience and established

AI learning architectures.
