Journal Article
Lopez-Salesansky, N., Mazlan, N. H., Whitfield, L. E., Wells, D. J., & Burn, C. C. (2016). Olfactory variation in mouse husbandry and its implications for refinement and standardisation: UK survey of non-animal scents. Laboratory Animals, 50(4), 286-295. https://doi.org/10.1177/0023677215614296

With their highly sensitive olfactory system, the behaviour and physiology of mice are not only influenced by the scents of conspecifics and other species, but also by many other chemicals in the environment. The constraints of laboratory housing lim... Read More about Olfactory variation in mouse husbandry and its implications for refinement and standardisation: UK survey of non-animal scents.

Journal Article
Packer, R. M. A., Hendricks, A., Tivers, M. S., & Burn, C. C. (2015). Impact of facial conformation on canine health: Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. PLoS ONE, 10(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0137496

The domestic dog may be the most morphologically diverse terrestrial mammalian species known to man; pedigree dogs are artificially selected for extreme aesthetics dictated by formal Breed Standards, and breed-related disorders linked to conformation...
