  Title Faecal IgA concentration is influenced by age in dogs Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication British Journal of Nutrition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 106 Issue (down) Supplement S1 Pages S183-S186  
  Keywords Ageing, Immunology, Mucosal immunity, Puppies  
  Abstract Data comparing age-related alterations in faecal IgA concentrations of dogs are not available in the literature. The present study aimed to

compare the faecal concentrations of IgA in puppies, mature and senior dogs. A total of twenty-four beagle dogs were used, including

eight puppies (5 months old, four females and four males), eight mature (4·6 years old, eight males) and eight senior dogs (10·6 years

old, three males and five females). Fresh faecal samples were collected from each dog for three consecutive days and pooled by

animal. After saline extraction, IgA content was measured by ELISA. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA, and means were compared

with Tukey’s test (P,0·05). Results showed that puppies have lower faecal IgA concentrations than mature dogs (P,0·05); senior animals

presented intermediary results. The reduced faecal IgA concentration in puppies is consistent with the reduced serum and salivary IgA

concentrations reported previously, suggesting a reduced mucosal immunity in this age group. Although some studies have found an

increased serum IgA concentration in older dogs, this may differ from the intestinal secretion of IgA, which appears to be lower in

some senior animals (four of the eight dogs studied).

  Title Behavioural phenotypes may determine whether social context facilitates or delays novel object exploration in ravens. Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication International Journal of Ornithology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 148 Issue (down) Suppl 2 Pages 179-184  
  Keywords Corvus corax – Novel object exploration – Personality – Social facilitation  
  Abstract Individuals consistently differ in behavioural phenotypes. Here we examine the interaction between behavioural phenotype and response to social context during novel object exploration in a neophobic corvid species, the raven (Corvus corax). The presence of conspecifics tends to encourage object exploration and learning but may also delay or even inhibit exploratory behaviour. Factors such as individual differences in response to social context may determine whether the presence of a conspecific facilitates or inhibits approach to novel objects. We confronted eleven six-month-old hand-raised ravens with novel objects, both individually and in dyadic combinations. We defined individuals as “fast” and “slow” explorers on the basis of their approach latency to novel objects when tested individually. The presence of a conspecific delayed the approach of fast birds to novel objects. Slow birds, in contrast, approached the novel objects with lower latencies and spent more time close to them when in dyads with fast siblings than when alone. The individuals" approach behaviour seemed to determine whether social context facilitated or delayed exploratory behaviour. This may contribute to explaining ambiguous results concerning the effects of social context in previous studies.

  Title Stress, social behavior, and resilience: Insights from rodents Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication Neurobiology of Stress Abbreviated Journal Neurobiol. Stress  
  Volume 1 Issue (down) Stress Resilience Pages 116-127  
  Keywords Stress; Anxiety; Social behavior; Sociality; Social stress; Social buffering  
  Abstract The neurobiology of stress and the neurobiology of social behavior are deeply intertwined. The social environment interacts with stress on almost every front: social interactions can be potent stressors; they can buffer the response to an external stressor; and social behavior often changes in response to stressful life experience. This review explores mechanistic and behavioral links between stress, anxiety, resilience, and social behavior in rodents, with particular attention to different social contexts. We consider variation between several different rodent species and make connections to research on humans and non-human primates.

  Title The effect of coat clipping on thermoregulation during intense exercise in trotters Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Equine Veterinary Journal Abbreviated Journal Equine Veterinary Journal  
  Volume 34 Issue (down) S34 Pages 564-567  
  Keywords horse; thermoregulation; heat loss; recovery; blood temperature; oxygen uptake  
  Abstract Summary The aim of this study was to study the physiological, especially thermoregulatory, responses during intense exercise in the clipped horse compared to the horse with winter coat. Six Standardbred trotters were studied before and after clipping. They performed an inclined incremental high intensity treadmill exercise test and were monitored during recovery. The clipped horse differed significantly (ANOVA) during exercise as compare to coated: less increase in central venous blood temperature, higher skin surface temperature, greater difference skin to ambient temperature and higher rate of nonevaporative heat loss. The clipped horse had significantly lower total cutaneous evaporative heat loss from walk to end of peak exercise and a shorter time for recovery for the respiratory rate using a paired t test. The clipped horse showed a tendency (P = 0.059) to decreased oxygen uptake during the stepwise increase in workload. We concluded that the clipped horse experienced less strain on the thermoregulatory system due to an enhanced heat loss. Some clipped horses in the study showed a more efficient power output; future studies with emphasis on respiration and oxygen demand are needed to explain this.

  Title The importance of ethology in understanding the behaviour of the horse Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Equine Veterinary Journal Abbreviated Journal Equine Veterinary Journal  
  Volume 31 Issue (down) S28 Pages 15-19  
  Keywords horse; behaviour; domestication; interspecific communication  
  Abstract Summary Domestication has provided the horse with food, shelter, veterinary care and protection, allowing individuals an increased chance of survival. However, the restriction of movement, limited breeding opportunities and a requirement to expend energy, for the benefit of another species, conflict with the evolutionary processes which shaped the behaviour of its predecessors. The behaviour of the horse is defined by its niche as a social prey species but many of the traits which ensured the survival of its ancestors are difficult to accommodate in the domestic environment. There has been a long association between horses and man and many features of equine behaviour suggest a predisposition to interspecific cooperation. However, the importance of dominance in human understanding of social systems has tended to overemphasise its importance in the human-horse relationship. The evolving horse-human relationship from predation to companionship, has resulted in serial conflicts of interest for equine and human participants. Only by understanding the nature and origin of these conflicts can ethologists encourage equine management practices which minimise deleterious effects on the behaviour of the horse.
