Title: Horses, zebras, and wild asses: what one taxon can reveal about the causes and consequences of behavioural variation and flexibility

Presenter: Dan Rubenstein

Institute: Princeton University, USA

As members of one genus, horses, zebras, and asses are extremely close evolutionary. Despite similar body plans and digestive systems, they show a remarkable diversity of social, mating, movement and feeding behaviors. How this variation among species and flexibility within and between populations emerges and what consequences this variety of form has on ecological and evolutionary success will be the focus of my presentation.
