Journal Article
Crawford, A., Hildyard, J., Rushing, S., Wells, D., Diez Leon, M., & Piercy, R. (in press). Validation of DE50-MD dogs as a model for the cognitive and biochemical defects in the brain phenotype of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. eLife, https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.049291

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal musculoskeletal disorder, is associated with neurodevelopmental problems and cognitive impairment caused by dystrophin deficiency in the brain. Dog models of DMD represent key translational tools to study...

Higher temperature extremes exacerbate negative disease effects in a social mammal (2022)
Journal Article
Paniw, M., Duncan, C., Groenewoud, F., Drewe, J., Manser, M., Ozgul, A., & Clutton-Brock, T. (2022). Higher temperature extremes exacerbate negative disease effects in a social mammal. Nature Climate Change, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-022-01284-x

One important but understudied way in which climate change may impact the fitness of individuals and populations is by altering the prevalence of infectious disease outbreaks. This is especially true in social species where endemic diseases are wides... Read More about Higher temperature extremes exacerbate negative disease effects in a social mammal.

Risk factors associated with short-term mortality and recurrence of status epilepticus in dogs (2022)
Journal Article

Response properties of optic flow neurons in the accessory optic system of hummingbirds versus zebra finches and pigeons (2022)
Journal Article
Gaede, A., Baliga, V., Smyth, G., Gutierrez-lbanez, C., Altshuler, D., & Wylie, D. (2022). Response properties of optic flow neurons in the accessory optic system of hummingbirds versus zebra finches and pigeons. Journal of Neurophysiology, 127(1), 130-144. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00437.2021

Optokinetic responses function to maintain retinal image stabilization by minimizing optic flow that occurs during self-motion. The hovering ability of hummingbirds is an extreme example of this behavior. Optokinetic responses are mediated by directi...
