The Structure of the Transcriptional Repressor KstR in Complex with CoA Thioester Cholesterol Metabolites Sheds Light on the Regulation of Cholesterol Catabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2016)
Journal Article
Ho, N. A. T., Dawes, S. S., Crowe, A. M., Casabon, I., Gao, C., Kendall, S. L., Baker, E. N., Eltis, L. D., & Lott, J. S. (2016). The Structure of the Transcriptional Repressor KstR in Complex with CoA Thioester Cholesterol Metabolites Sheds Light on the Regulation of Cholesterol Catabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291(14), 7256-7266. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M115.707760

Cholesterol can be a major carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection, both at an early stage in the macrophage phagosome and later within the necrotic granuloma. KstR is a highly conserved TetR family transcriptional repressor tha...

Temporal and phylogenetic evolution of the sauropod dinosaur body plan (2016)
Journal Article
Bates, K. T., Mannion, P. D., Falkingham, P. L., Brusatte, S. L., Hutchinson, J. R., Otero, A., Sellers, W. I., Sullivan, C., Stevens, K. A., & Allen, V. R. (2016). Temporal and phylogenetic evolution of the sauropod dinosaur body plan. Royal Society Open Science, 3(3), 150636. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150636

The colossal size and body plan of sauropod dinosaurs are unparalleled in terrestrial vertebrates. However, to date, there have been only limited attempts to examine temporal and phylogenetic patterns in the sauropod bauplan. Here, we combine three-d...

Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs (2016)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., Weldon McNutt, J., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs. Nature Communications, 7, 11033. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11033

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are described as highly collaborative endurance pursuit hunters based on observations derived primarily from the grass plains of East Africa. However, the remaining population of this endangered species mainly occupi... Read More about Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs.

Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs (2016)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., McNutt, J. W., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs. Nature Communications, 7, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11034

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are reported to hunt with energetically costly long chase distances. We used high-resolution GPS and inertial technology to record 1,119 high-speed chases of all members of a pack of six adult African wild dogs in no...

Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Heffernan, C., Azbel-Jackson, L., Brownlie, J., & Gunn, G. (2016). Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152295

The eradication of BVD in the UK is technically possible but appears to be socially untenable. The following study explored farmer attitudes to BVD control schemes in relation to advice networks and information sharing, shared aims and goals, motivat...

Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia? (2016)
Journal Article
Henning, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., Stevenson, M., Yulianto, D., Priyono, W., & Meers, J. (2016). Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152123

Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems, as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical signs. Countries endemically affect... Read More about Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?.

Teaching nursing skills in the clinical environment (2016)
Journal Article
Batt-Williams, S. (2016). Teaching nursing skills in the clinical environment. Veterinary Nursing Journal, 31(4), 118-121. https://doi.org/10.1080/17415349.2016.1150228

It would be fair to say that much of the teaching of clinical practice in the veterinary workplace is undertaken by staff members who have not training in the principles of education. This article will use the example of selecting an appropriately si... Read More about Teaching nursing skills in the clinical environment.

Disorganization of the splenic microanatomy in ageing mice (2016)
Journal Article
Aw, D. P. S., Hilliard, L., Nishikawa, Y., Cadman, E. T., Lawrence, R. A., & Palmer, D. B. (2016). Disorganization of the splenic microanatomy in ageing mice. Immunology, 148(1), 92-101. https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.12590

The precise mechanisms responsible for immunosenescence still remain to be determined, however, considering the evidence that disruption of the organization of primary and secondary lymphoid organs results in immunodeficiency, we propose that this co...
