Episode 27: How Crickets Can Tell Us More About Urban Noise Pollution
December 14, 2020 – Learn more about the effect of noise pollution on crickets, a key species in many food webs.
Working Toward a Genetic Test for Heart Arrhythmias
Researchers will investigate if genetic variants can help identify horses at high risk of developing potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias.
Developing Health and Well-being Guidelines for Air-Transported Horses
Researchers will investigate how horses are managed when transported by air to optimize their welfare, identifying factors that increase or decrease the risk of health and behavioral problems.
Studying the Effect of Obesity on Reproductive Health
Researchers will determine if being overweight or obese decreases fertility in stallions.
Understanding Gut Microbiota and Health in Black Rhinoceros
Researchers will investigate the role diet and gut microbiota plays in both health and disease sensitivity in critically endangered southern black rhinoceros.
Linking Noise Pollution to Cricket Health and Reproduction
Researchers will investigate costs of human-generated noise on crickets as a model for other invertebrates. Invertebrates make up more than 95% of all animal species on Earth and form the backbone of most healthy ecosystems.
Assessing Risks Related To Genomic Estimation of Inbreeding
Using data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will determine if (and the degree to which) inbreeding affects adult body size and fecundity (litter size) in female golden retrievers.
Updating Normal Blood Testing Ranges
Using data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will look at annual wellness testing results to determine the magnitude of year-to-year changes in laboratory values in healthy dogs.
Looking for Links between Lifestyle, Gut Microbiome and Obesity
Using data and samples from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will analyze the gut microbiome in healthy weight and obese dogs to determine if the microbiome differs between these two populations and could contribute to obesity in the breed.
