Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa (2017)
Journal Article
Abrahms, B., Seidel, D. P., Dougherty, E., Hazen, E. L., Bograd, S. J., Wilson, A. M., …Getz, W. M. (2017). Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa. Movement Ecology, 5(12), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-017-0104-2

ecause empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and species-specific, we lack understanding of the level of consistency in movement patterns across diverse taxa, as well as a framework for quantitatively classifying movement patterns...

Mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP) lead to multisystem proteinopathies including frontotemporal dementia. We have previously shown that patient-derived VCP mutant fibroblasts exhibit lower mitochondrial membrane potential...

We used baseline schistosomiasis mapping surveys from three countries (Malawi, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia) to generate spatially realistic gold standard datasets, against which we tested alternative two-stage cluster survey designs. We assessed how sa... Read More about Optimising cluster survey design for planning schistosomiasis preventive chemotherapy.

In morphological terms, “form” is used to describe an object’s shape and size. In dogs, facial form is stunningly diverse. Facial retrusion, the proximodistal shortening of the snout and widening of the hard palate is common to brachycephalic dogs an...

A 2 year old, spayed female African serval was evaluated for a history of abdominal distention. Physical examination findings were consistent with cranial abdominal masses and anemia. Abdominal imaging revealed soft tissue opacity masses in the crani... Read More about Treatment of hemorrhagic hepatic cysts with omentalization in a serval..

Establishment and cryptic transmission of Zika virus in Brazil and the Americas (2017)
Journal Article
