Cues and mechanisms for lateral exposure preference in the common eland (Taurotragus oryx)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In vertebrates, brain lateralization has been described as a left hemispheric specialization for information processing and decision-making and a right hemispheric specialization for intense emotional reactions and fear responses. Accordingly, we may expect that ungulates will instinctively orientate their body in order to use their left eye for the detection of threats and social information. In this study, we investigate the factors influencing the body orientation of individuals during feeding activities in 55 captive common elands in two socially stable captive herds. Do lateralized postures differ while individuals perform activities with different vulnerability risks, and what are the factors affecting lateral exposure preferences? We recorded a large number of observations of the activity of the elands, the number of animals on each side, the positions and distances of the closest neighbour, the dominant individual and the closest visual barrier. Statistical analyses determined the positioning
