1 State of the art tools for surveying horse populations and modeling fertility control L. Stefan Ekernas, PhD November 8, 2018
2 Outline 1. Survey methods 2. Population models
3 Outline 1. Survey methods 2. Population models
4 Why survey? Plan fertility control treatments, such as: How many animals to treat Horse distribution / trapping sites Evaluate efficacy of population growth suppression actions: Population growth rate Population foaling rate Meet legal requirements!
5 Planning a survey Primary goal: estimate population size N Secondary goals? Foal ratio; horse distribution; range conditions; water; etc Considerations Your budget & tolerance for uncertainty Restrictions: area, horse population Resources: volunteers, students, universities, other agencies, etc Then, choose a method
6 Verified survey methods Method Requirements Risk Costs Pop size restrictions Ground count of known individuals Volunteers; some horse color Area restrictions Low Low Small Small and accessible Accuracy Extremely high Comments Very labor intensive Simultaneous double observer surveys Aerial photo markresight Aircraft High High None None High Best when few trees; can be biased by horse movement Aircraft; lots of horse color High Very high Small Medium High Robust to trees & horse movement Mark-resight distance sampling Aircraft High Medium / flexible None None Low / flexible Best for very large areas >10 mil acres DNA mark-recapture Genetics lab Low Very high / flexible Medium Medium and accessible High / flexible Costs increase linearly with pop size and accuracy; takes long time to get results; no ground-truthing
7 Other survey methods Experimental: Infrared aerial transects Drones (unmanned aircraft) Satellite imagery Orthorectified aerial photography Unreliable: Ground / road counts of unknown individuals Game cameras Not available, typically: Aerial mark-resight with radio collars Ground photo mark-resight (need tons of horse color)
8 BLM: Double observer methods Pilot and 3 trained observers Each survey covers 100% of HMA, plus surrounding lands Record data on detection covariates for each group: Then go home and do a bunch of math. vs. vs. vs.
9 Lubow & Ransom (2016) PLOS One Double observer methods N (bars = 95%CI) Truth
10 BLM Surveys Wild horse & burro survey flight paths, FY 2017 ± Miles BLM shall maintain current inventory Each HMA surveyed every 2-3 years Annually: 20 million acres 30k linear miles of transects $1.2 million Sources: Esri, HERE, Garmin, Intermap, increment P Corp., GEBCO, USGS, FAO, NPS, NRCAN, GeoBase, IGN, Kadaster NL, Ordnance Survey, Esri Japan, METI, Esri China (Hong Kong), swisstopo, OpenStreetMap contributors, and the GIS User Community
11 Future directions Alternate methods: get people out of the air Fecal DNA mark-recapture Drones Infrared flights Satellite / orthorectified aerial imagery
12 Outline 1. Survey methods 2. Population models
13 Why use population models? Plan management actions Who, how many, how often, what treatments Evaluate options Outcomes and costs
14 Background Current population modeling tool: WinEquus Solid population modeling, but Weaknesses: Difficult to compare scenarios Only saves outputs, not inputs Inflexible No cost calculations
15 PopEquus Goals Tool to evaluate management options: outcomes and costs Find optimal scenarios Objectives Accessible but powerful (easy to use and customizable) Increase transparency Tinkering
16 PopEquus Web application (user interface) R code runs models Geared to BLM, but customizable Completion date: summer 2019 ish Why web app? Easy to update & add data Everyone uses most recent version Save inputs so others can verify results Interactive graphs & tables Easier to use than R! Tara Kilpatrick
17 PopEquus: management options Single actions No action Removals Completed PZP-22 Spaying ZonaStat GonaCon Not yet done Gelding Combinations Removal + spaying PZP-22 + Removal ZonaStat + Removal GonaCon + Removal Gelding + Removal Spaying + PZP-22 Spaying + ZonaStat Spaying + GonaCon Spaying + Gelding Spaying + PZP-22 + Removal Spaying + ZonaStat + Removal
18 PopEquus: the bones Population structure Foals Yearlings Projection matrix example Age structured population model Matrices with survival and foaling rates Stochastic projection Tracks individual animals on range & in holding Calculates annual costs, per head PGS treatments Gathers On range Adoptions Holding costs Off range
19 Output BLM cumulative operating costs. All models are wrong; some are useful. -George Box Stochastic Deterministic
20 Tinker to optimize Example conditions 600 animals starting population (includes foals) AML Helicopter $800/head Can gather 80% of population Options: PZP-22, spaying, removals
21 PZP-22 for different ages No action Model: primer, $30 booster, increasing efficacy with boosters Youngest PZP: 6 y.o. Youngest PZP: 4 y.o. PZP treatment Youngest PZP: yearlings
22 PZP-22 at different intervals Model: Model: primer, $30 booster, increasing efficacy with boosters, treat 100% of captured yearlings and older Assumptions: no change in trappability or per head gather costs over time PZP every 4 years PZP every 2 years PZP every year
23 Spaying different ages Model: Spay 6 y.o. and older Spay Spay 4 y.o. and older Spay yearlings and older
24 Spaying at different intervals Model: spay 100% of captured yearlings and older Spay every 4 years (1,5,9) Spay every 3 years (1,4,7) Spay in years 1 & 3 only
25 Removals at different intervals Remove to 300 every 3 years Remove to 200 every 4 years Remove to 150 every 5 years AML AML
