Aspects of Heifer Rearing
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brickell, J. S., McGowan, M. M., & Wathes, D. C. Aspects of Heifer Rearing

Minimal losses, optimal growth rates and excellent fertility management are key factors of a good dairy heifer rearing system. This study determined the mortality, growth and fertility of Holstein-Friesian heifers on 19 UK dairy farms, and examined t... Read More about Aspects of Heifer Rearing.

Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
Journal Article
Brown, S. C., Piercy, R. J., Muntoni, F., & Sewry, C. A. Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Biochemical Society Transactions, 36(Pt 6), 1335-1338. https://doi.org/10.1042/bst0361335

EDMD (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy) is caused by mutations in either the gene encoding for lamin A/C (LMNA) located at 1q21.2-q21.3 of emerin (EMD) located at Xq28. Autosomal dominant EDMD caused by LMNA mutations is more common than the X-linke... Read More about Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Take-off and landing kinetics of a free-ranging gliding mammal, the Malayan colugo (Galeopterus variegatus)
Journal Article
Byrnes, G., Lim, N. T. L., & Spence, A. J. Take-off and landing kinetics of a free-ranging gliding mammal, the Malayan colugo (Galeopterus variegatus). https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2007.1684

Arboreal animals negotiate a highly three-dimensional world that is discontinuous on many spatial scales. As the scale of substrate discontinuity increases, many arboreal animals rely on leaping or gliding locomotion between distant supports. In orde...
