Domestic horses (Equus caballus) discriminate between negative and positive human nonverbal vocalisations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The ability to discriminate between emotion in vocal signals is highly adaptive in social species. It may also be adaptive for domestic species to distinguish such signals in humans.

Metabolomic and proteomic stratification of equine osteoarthritis

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine osteoarthritis (OA) is predominantly diagnosed through clinical examination and radiography, leading to detection only after significant joint pathology. The pathogenesis of OA remains unclear and while many medications modify the disease's inflammatory components, no curative or reversal treatments exist.

Synovial fluid alpha‐2‐macroglobulin, gelsolin and lubricin distinguish between osteoarthritic and healthy equine joints

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Synovial fluid (SF) is an ideal sentinel fluid for osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis and prognostication due to its critical homeostatic role, proximity to articular tissues and immune cell composition. Untargeted proteomics enable identification of soluble markers for diagnostic and therapeutic applications while minimising bias ...

Sensory laterality in affiliative interactions in domestic horses and ponies (Equus caballus)

open access: yesAnimal Cognition, 2018
Many studies have been carried out into both motor and sensory laterality of horses in agonistic and stressful situations. Here we examine sensory laterality in affiliative interactions within four groups of domestic horses and ponies (N = 31), living in

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

The proteomic differences and expression of fatty acid‐binding protein 6 (FABP6) associated with gastrointestinal injury in horses with oral administration of a clinical dose of phenylbutazone

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Phenylbutazone (PBZ) can potentially induce gastrointestinal ulceration, and early detection of PBZ‐induced gastroenteropathy will be useful for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of PBZ toxicity. Objectives To identify putative proteins associated with equine gastric ulcer syndrome after clinical dose (4.4 mg/kg ...

Reference intervals for biochemical and haematological parameters in mature domestic donkeys (Equus asinus) in the UK

open access: yes, 2016
Summary Reference intervals (RIs) for haematology and serum biochemistry for donkeys in a temperate climate have been previously published using blood sample results from the resident population of a large donkey shelter in the UK.

Tracheal collapse rates in Kenyan working cart and pack donkeys

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Donkeys (Equus asinus) in East Africa are recognised as working with poorly designed harnesses and carts. The donkey cart used in regions of Africa, specifically Meru County, Kenya, appears to place the cart's weight solely on the donkey's mid‐cervical region.

A phosphoserine phosphatase variant present in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients favors nuclear mistargeting

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
l‐serine levels in the human brain are maintained by the phosphorylated pathway, a three‐step process catalyzed by phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP). These enzymes assemble in a metabolon called the serinosome. The double R27S/D32G PSP variant was identified in the brain of
