Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline (2013)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., & Usherwood, J. R. (2013). Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline. Biology Letters, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2012.1121

There is an ongoing debate about the reasons underlying gait transition in terrestrial locomotion. In bipedal locomotion, the ‘compass gait’, a reductionist model of inverted pendulum walking, predicts the boundaries of speed and step length within w...

Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot (2013)
Journal Article
Gelasakis, A. I., Arsenos, G., Hickford, J., Zhou, H., Psifidi, A., Valergakis, G. E., & Banos, G. (2013). Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot. Livestock Science, 153(1-3), 56-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2013.02.011

The objectives of this study were to assess (i) the nature and frequency of polymorphism of the DQA2 gene in Chios dairy sheep and (ii) if it is associated with footrot prevalence in the population. A total of 20 DQA2 alleles/haplotypes and 78 genoty... Read More about Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot.

Identification of Sarcocystis capracanis in cerebrospinal fluid from sheep with neurological disease (2013)
Journal Article
Formisano, P., Aldridge, B. A., Alony, Y., Beekhuis, L., Davies, E. S. S., Del Pozo, J., Dunn, K., English, K., Morrison, L., Sargison, N., Seguino, A., Summers, B. A., Wilson, D., Milne, E., & Beard, P. M. (2013). Identification of Sarcocystis capracanis in cerebrospinal fluid from sheep with neurological disease. Veterinary Parasitology, 193(1-3), 252-255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2012.12.016

Protozoal merozoites were identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of two sheep with neurological disease in the UK. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified the merozoites as Sarcocystis capracanis, a common protozoal pathogen of goats. This is the f...

Genome-Wide Analysis Reveals Selection for Important Traits in Domestic Horse Breeds. PLoS Genetics, 9(1), e1003211. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003211

Intense selective pressures applied over short evolutionary time have resulted in homogeneity within, but substantial variation among, horse breeds. Utilizing this population structure, 744 individuals from 33 breeds, and a 54,000 SNP genotyping arra...

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 28(2), 291-301. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.1754

Estrogen receptor‐α (ERα) is crucial for the adaptive response of bone to loading but the role of endogenous estradiol (E2) for this response is unclear. To determine in vivo the ligand dependency and relative roles of different ERα domains for the o...
