PopEquus: a predictive modeling tool to support management decisions for free-roaming horse populations PopEquus: a predictive modeling tool to support management decisions for free-roaming horse populations
Feral horse (Equus caballus) population management is a challenging problem around the world because populations often exhibit density-independent growth, can exert negative ecological effects on ecosystems, and require great cost to be managed. However, strong value-based connections between people and horses cause contention around management decisions. To help make informed decisions...
