Journal Article
Torres-Blas, I., Horsler, H., Paredes, U., Perkins, M., Priestnall, S., & Brekke, P. (2023). Impact of exposure to urban air pollution on grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) lung health. Environmental Pollution, 326, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121312

The increased rate of global urbanisation has recently exacerbated the significant public health problem of traffic related air pollution. Despite the known significant impact on human health, little is known about the effects of air pollution on wil...

Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice (2023)
Journal Article
Monzem, S., Valkani, D., Evans, L., Chang, Y., & Pitsillides, A. (2023). Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice. BONE, 170, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2023.116720

Beneficial effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone mass and architecture are described to either simply add to, or to synergise with those of mechanical loading. We evaluate whether interaction with in vivo loading is reinforced by...

Expert assessment of the impact of ship-strikes on cetacean welfare using the Welfare Assessment Tool for Wild Cetaceans (2023)
Journal Article

Human activities are increasingly impacting our oceans and the focus of attention tends to be on their environmental impacts, rather than consequences for animal welfare. Global shipping density has quadrupled since 1992. Unsurprisingly, increased le...
