TL;DR: This work provides further evidence of the importance of MSTN in racing breeds, provides strong evidence for selection upon gait and size, and illustrates the potential for population-based techniques to find genomic regions driving important phenotypes in the modern horse.

TL;DR: A need to re-evaluate the composition of semen extenders and the semen processing procedures in relation to sperm transport, longevity and fertilizing ability is indicated.

TL;DR: Honey bees make discrete choices among many resinous plant species, even among closely related species, which suggests that resins from closely related plant species many have different benefits to bees.

TL;DR: Future studies to refine the associations at ECA1 and ELA loci and identify functional variants could uncover alleles conferring susceptibility to ERU in Appaloosa horses.

TL;DR: Trends over a nine-year period in serotypes, and antimicrobial resistance, of Salmonella isolates recovered at the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (MVDL) from swine and cattle samples provide insight into the dynamics of antimicrobial resistant Salmonellosis in livestock in Minnesota, and can help to monitor emerging trends in antimicrobial Resistance.
