Journal Article
Bishop, P. J. (2019). Testing the function of dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) 'sickle claws' through musculoskeletal modelling and optimization. PeerJ, e7577. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.7577

Dromaeosaurids were a clade of bird-like, carnivorous dinosaurs that are well known for their characteristic morphology of pedal digit II, which bore an enlarged, sickle-shaped claw and permitted an extreme range of flexion–extension. Proposed functi... Read More about Testing the function of dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) 'sickle claws' through musculoskeletal modelling and optimization.

Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses (2019)
Journal Article
Self Davies, Z. T., Spence, A. J., & Wilson, A. M. (2019). Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses. Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.204107

The horse has evolved to gallop economically at high speed. Limb force increases with speed but direct measures of limb ground reaction forces (GRFs) at gallop are sparse.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of growing interest in terms of bone regeneration. Most preclinical trials utilize bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs), although this is not without isolation and expansion difficulties. The aim of thi...

The potential of livestock and animal-source foods (ASF) to improve nutrition of vulnerable households in the Sahel countries is large, but currently underutilised, despite the dependence of human nutrition on livestock in some areas. This study asse... Read More about Leveraging human nutrition through livestock interventions: perceptions, knowledge, barriers and opportunities in the Sahel.

How should we store avian faecal samples for microbiota analyses? Comparing efficacy and cost-effectiveness (2019)
Journal Article
Vargas-Pellicer, P., Watrobska, C., Knowles, S. C. L., Schroeder, J., & Banks-Leite, C. (2019). How should we store avian faecal samples for microbiota analyses? Comparing efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 165, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2019.105689

Analyses of bacterial DNA in faecal samples are becoming ever more common, yet we still do not know much about bird microbiomes. These challenges partly lie in the unique chemical nature of their faeces, and in the choice of sample storage method, wh...
