Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs (2016)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., McNutt, J. W., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs. Nature Communications, 7, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11034

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are reported to hunt with energetically costly long chase distances. We used high-resolution GPS and inertial technology to record 1,119 high-speed chases of all members of a pack of six adult African wild dogs in no...

Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Heffernan, C., Azbel-Jackson, L., Brownlie, J., & Gunn, G. (2016). Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152295

The eradication of BVD in the UK is technically possible but appears to be socially untenable. The following study explored farmer attitudes to BVD control schemes in relation to advice networks and information sharing, shared aims and goals, motivat...

Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia? (2016)
Journal Article
Henning, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., Stevenson, M., Yulianto, D., Priyono, W., & Meers, J. (2016). Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152123

Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems, as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical signs. Countries endemically affect... Read More about Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?.

Disorganization of the splenic microanatomy in ageing mice (2016)
Journal Article
Aw, D. P. S., Hilliard, L., Nishikawa, Y., Cadman, E. T., Lawrence, R. A., & Palmer, D. B. (2016). Disorganization of the splenic microanatomy in ageing mice. Immunology, 148(1), 92-101. https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.12590

The precise mechanisms responsible for immunosenescence still remain to be determined, however, considering the evidence that disruption of the organization of primary and secondary lymphoid organs results in immunodeficiency, we propose that this co...

Enhanced flight performance by genetic manipulation of wing shape in Drosophila (2016)
Journal Article
Ray, R. P., Nakata, T., Henningsson, P., & Bomphrey, R. J. (2016). Enhanced flight performance by genetic manipulation of wing shape in Drosophila. Nature Communications, 7, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms10851

Insect wing shapes are remarkably diverse and the combination of shape and kinematics determines both aerial capabilities and power requirements. However, the contribution of any specific morphological feature to performance is not known. Using targe...
