Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Atypical Predictive Processing Is Associated With Sensory Over‐Responsivity in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is characterized by sensory processing atypicalities including sensory over‐responsivity (SOR), a heightened negative response to sensory stimuli. Although the neural mechanisms underlying SOR are not fully understood, SOR has been associated with sensory‐limbic hyper‐reactivity during sensory stimulation.

Landscape as a Shared Space for Badgers and Cattle: Insights Into Indirect Contact and Bovine Tuberculosis Transmission Risk

Ecology and Evolution
Though the magnitude of effect is uncertain, badger–cattle indirect contact has been implicated in bovine tuberculosis (bTB) transmission risk to cattle despite a paucity of data on badger space use.

Listening to young children with disabilities: Experiences of quality in mainstream primary education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract All children should have access to quality education through a child‐centred pedagogy. An inclusive, child‐centred pedagogy uses a strength‐based view of children that recognises each child as unique and competent, providing children with multiple opportunities to explore and learn at their own pace.

Farmer‐led badger vaccination in Cornwall: Epidemiological patterns and social perspectives

People and Nature
In the United Kingdom, the management of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) challenges the coexistence of people and wildlife. Control of this cattle disease is hindered by transmission of its causative agent, Mycobacterium bovis, between cattle and badgers Meles

Isolation and characterization of the major plasma apolipoproteins, A-1 and B, in the European badger, Meles meles.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1986
The two major apolipoproteins of badger serum, apoA-I and apoB, have been isolated and characterized. Apolipoprotein A-I was the principal protein of badger lipoproteins with density 1.063-1.21 g/ml and, in addition, was present in the lipoprotein class ...

Development of a novel immunochromatographic lateral flow assay specific for Mycobacterium bovis cells and its application in combination with immunomagnetic separation to test badger faeces

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
BackgroundThe European badger is an important wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis implicated in the spread of bovine tuberculosis in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Infected badgers are known to shed M.
