Journal Article
Cameron, A., Longland, A., Pfau, T., Pinnegar, S., Brackston, I., Hockenhull, J., …Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2021). The effect of strip grazing on physical activity and behaviour in ponies. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 103745. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2021.103745

This work aimed to determine the effect of strip grazing on physical activity in ponies using behavioural observations alongside accelerometers positioned at the poll. In study one, ten British native breed ponies were randomly assigned to paddock A... Read More about The effect of strip grazing on physical activity and behaviour in ponies.

Molecular basis for DarT ADP-ribosylation of a DNA base (2021)
Journal Article
Schuller, M., Butler, R., Ariza, A., Tromans-Coia, C., Jankevicius, G., Claridge, T., …Ahel, I. (2021). Molecular basis for DarT ADP-ribosylation of a DNA base. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03825-4

ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) utilise NAD+ to catalyse substrate ADP-ribosylation, thereby regulating cellular pathways or contributing to toxin-mediated pathogenicity of bacteria. Reversible ADP-ribosylation has traditionally been considered a prot... Read More about Molecular basis for DarT ADP-ribosylation of a DNA base.

Sciatic neurectomy-related cortical bone loss exhibits delayed onset yet stabilises more rapidly than trabecular bone (2021)
Journal Article
Monzem, S., Javaheri, B., de Souza, R. L., & Pitsillides, A. A. (2021). Sciatic neurectomy-related cortical bone loss exhibits delayed onset yet stabilises more rapidly than trabecular bone. Bone Reports, 101116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101116

Disuse osteoporosis occurs after extended periods of bed rest or nerve damage leading to increased risk of fracture. It remains to be established, however, whether the trajectory of bone loss is equivalent in bone's cortical and trabecular compartmen...

Using Qualitative System Dynamics Analysis to Promote Inclusive Livestock Value Chains: A Case Study of the South African Broiler Value Chain (2021)
Journal Article
Cuevas Garcia-Dorado, S., Queenan, K., Shankar, B., Häsler, B., Mabhaudhi, T., Cooper, G., & Slotow, R. (in press). Using Qualitative System Dynamics Analysis to Promote Inclusive Livestock Value Chains: A Case Study of the South African Broiler Value Chain. Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 5, https://doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2021.670756

Livestock value chains globally are increasingly dualistic, with integrated market-leaders co-existing with comparatively disadvantaged small producers who, nevertheless, support rural livelihoods and food access, and can also contribute to more resi...

A Retrospective Study Of Morbidity And Mortality Identified At Postmortem Examination Of Captive Langurs From Six UK Zoological Institutions: A Nineteen Year Review (2021)
Journal Article
Pereira, M., Stidworthy, M., Denk, D., Spiro, S., Guthrie, A., & Patterson, S. (in press). A Retrospective Study Of Morbidity And Mortality Identified At Postmortem Examination Of Captive Langurs From Six UK Zoological Institutions: A Nineteen Year Review. Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine,

Langurs are Asian primates belonging to the Colobinae subfamily. Langur populations are declining, with most species categorized as threatened by the IUCN. Investigation into the threats to population viability and sustainability would be beneficial...

Ethics: use and misuse of assisted reproductive techniques across species (2021)
Journal Article
Campbell, M. L. H. (2021). Ethics: use and misuse of assisted reproductive techniques across species. Reproduction and Fertility, 2(3), C23-C28. https://doi.org/10.1530/raf-21-0004

The boundaries of what we are able to do using ARTs are fast-moving. In both human and veterinary medicine, this presents a fundamental question: 'Just because we can, should we?' or, to rephrase the same question: 'How can we distinguish between wha...

A citizen science trial to assess perception of wild penguin welfare (2021)
Journal Article
Nicol, C., Freire, R., Massaro, M., McDonald, S., & Trathan, P. (2021). A citizen science trial to assess perception of wild penguin welfare. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2021.698685

Wild penguins are facing increased threats to their populations and their welfare as a consequence of human activities. Understanding the perception of animal welfare is essential to identify ethical concerns related to the negative impact of anthr...
