Bilateral distal femoral trochlear block migration after medial patellar luxation surgery in a dogNARA Subscribed
The objective of this study was to describe management of a 2-year-old neutered male mixed breed dog with bilateral trochlear block recession migration with unilateral revision surgery. This is a rarely reported complication of a common surgical procedure. A 3D model segmented from a computed tomography scan using Mimics was performed before surgery to help determine whether surgical reduction of the osteochondral trochlear bl...
In human CT imaging, opportunistic calculation of bone mineral density (BMD) is used to screen for osteoporosis, where BMD is estimated by Hounsfield Units (HU). There is potential to use HU for estimation of BMD in veterinary imaging. However, HU values can vary between different machines and over time. We undertook a serial measurements study to determine (1) the extent of the difference of the mean HU and noise (HU standard...
A novel method to optimise the utility of underused moulted plumulaceous feather samples for genetic analysis in bird conservationNARA Subscribed
Non-invasive sampling methods are increasingly being used in conservation research as they reduce or eliminate the stress and disturbance resulting from invasive sampling of blood or tissue. Here we present a protocol optimised for obtaining usable genetic material from moulted plumulaceous feather samples. The combination of simple alterations to a ‘user-developed’ method, comprised of increased incubation time and modificati...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Effects of urbanization on the population structure of freshwater turtles across the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Landscape‐scale alterations that accompany urbanization may negatively affect the population structure of wildlife species such as freshwater turtles. Changes to nesting sites and higher mortality rates due to vehicular collisions and increased predator populations may particularly affect immature turtles and mature female turtles. We hypothesized that the proportions of adult female and immature turtles in a population will n...
Islands in the ice stream: were spawning habitats for native salmonids in the Great Lakes created by paleo‐ice streams?NARA Subscribed
Lake trout Salvelinus namaycush , lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis and cisco Coregonus artedi are salmonid fishes native to the Laurentian Great Lakes that spawn on rocky substrates in the fall and early winter. After comparing the locations of spawning habitat for these species in the main basin of Lake Huron with surficial substrates and the hypothesized locations of fast‐flowing Late Wisconsinan paleo‐ice streams, we h...
