TL;DR: The most important clinical aspects of canine PD are considered in this review and the various animal models are examined with an emphasis on the role of the dog as the most useful approach for understanding human PD and in the development of new therapeutic and preventive measures.

TL;DR: This review presents a comparative guide of classical and recent advances in PCR-based methods for avian molecular sexing, highlighting its strengths and limitations and future research opportunities in this field are addressed.

TL;DR: The IL-10 −819 (−824) T and −592 (−597) A alleles may confer a relative increase in the risk for chronic periodontitis in Caucasians and future studies may be important to reinforce these findings.

TL;DR: In this article, a spatially explicit dynamic approach that combines the results from multiple modelling techniques under a common framework was proposed to assess the local and cumulative regional impacts of wind farms on skylark populations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Skylark Alauda arvensis had the highest overall mortality in ten Northern Portuguese wind farms surveyed between 2006 and 2011, with a sex and age biased mortality affecting mainly adult males (90.9%), which may be related to their characteristic breeding male song-flights making them highly vulnerable to collision with wind turbines.
