analyse how spatially dynamic PTs in a naturally regulated feral horse (Equus ferus caballus) population emerge along a geographic gradient in a known, limiting resource (freshwater) each year from variable climatic conditions. Polygyny threshold distance from permanent freshwater increased with increasing precipitation during the breeding season of each year, suggesting a relationship between annual resource availability and female mate choice. The mechanism by which climatic conditions underpin the spatial dynamics of PTs was likely through precipitation providing ephemeral freshwater sources across the study area that effectively weakened the gradient in availability of permanent freshwater, thereby providing mating males that occupied home ranges far from permanent water with access to this limiting resource and enabling them to attract and retain females. Increased precipitation also coincided with a decreased proportionfront of the middle pillar.
However, the pillar cover portion takes in an inflation gas also from a rear window covering portion for covering a window located at the rear of the middle pillar. Further, the pillar cover portion also includes an outlet port which forwards an inflation gas to an inflatable portion located in front of the front window covering portion.
With this configuration, with an inflation gas from the front window covering portion as well as from the rear window covering portion, the pillar cover portion may inflate almost simultaneously with the front window cover portion. In such an instance, if an inflated portion contacts a seatback of a seat located at an inboard side of the middle pillar, the pillar cover portion may fail to deploy to
