Journal ArticleDOI
Geometric analysis of macronutrient selection in breeds of the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris
Adrian K. Hewson-Hughes,Victoria L. Hewson-Hughes,Alison Colyer,Andrew T. Miller,Scott Joseph Mcgrane,Simon Reginald Hall,Richard F. Butterwick,Stephen J. Simpson,David Raubenheimer +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the macronutrient content of the diet was regulated to a protein:fat:carbohydrate ratio of approximately 30:63:7% by energy, a value that was remarkably similar across breeds, and interpreted in relation to the evolutionary history of domestic dogs and equivalent studies on domestic cats.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of dog ownership on objective measures of free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults: a longitudinal case-controlled study
Philippa M. Dall,Sarah Ellis,Brian Ellis,P. Margaret Grant,Alison Colyer,Nancy R. Gee,Nancy R. Gee,Malcolm H. Granat,Daniel S. Mills +8 more
TL;DR: The scale of the influence of dog ownership on PA found in this study, indicates that future research regarding PA in older adults should assess and report dog ownership and/or dog walking status.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-sectional survey of bacterial species in plaque from client owned dogs with healthy gingiva, gingivitis or mild periodontitis.
Ian J. Davis,Corrin Wallis,Oliver Deusch,Alison Colyer,Lisa Milella,Nicholas J. Loman,Stephen Harris +6 more
TL;DR: The scale of this study surpasses previously published research and enhances the understanding of the bacterial species present in canine subgingival plaque and their associations with health and early periodontal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrosequencing the canine faecal microbiota: breadth and depth of biodiversity.
TL;DR: Differences between animals in the proportions of different taxa, among 10,000 reads per animal, were clear and not supportive of the concept of a “core microbiota” and littermates were shown to have a more similar faecal microbial composition than unrelated dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of protocols for detection of Colletotrichum acutatum and monitoring of strawberry anthracnose using real‐time PCR
Carlos Garrido,María Carbú,Francisco Javier Fernández-Acero,Neil Boonham,Alison Colyer,Jesús M. Cantoral,Giles E. Budge +6 more
TL;DR: The new real-time PCR assays were shown to be useful tools for rapid detection and identification of these pathogens and to allow rapid and accurate assessment of the casual agents of anthracnose in strawberry.
