Journal ArticleDOI
The feeding ecology of the aardvark Orycteropus afer
TL;DR: Termites were fed on more often in winter than summer at a time when ant numbers were generally reduced and the aardvarks may have been experiencing difficulty in meeting their nutritional requirements relative to summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors for a dementia gene mutation based on gene-panel next-generation sequencing of a large dementia referral series.

TL;DR: Next-generation genetic sequencing technologies facilitate the screening of multiple genes linked to neurodegenerative dementia, but there are few reports about their use in clinical practice and the results should provide a basis for more informed counselling and clinical decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testicular and Epididymal Sperm Content in Grazing Cashmere Bucks: Seasonal Variation and Prediction from Measurements in vivo
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Australian cashmere bucks exhibit considerable seasonal variation in spermatogenesis associated primarily with changes in testicular mass but also withChanges in the efficiency of sperMatogenesis; and indirect measures of testicular size are good predictors oftesticular elongated sperm content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity patterns, home ranges and burrow use of aardvarks (Orycteropus afer) in the Karoo
W. A. Taylor,John D. Skinner +1 more
TL;DR: In winter, aardvarks emerged above ground earlier, returned to burrows earlier and were active for shorter periods than in summer, while in summer they were nocturnal except occasionally in winter when some individuals foraged above ground before sunset.
Journal ArticleDOI
ApoE4 lowers age at onset in patients with frontotemporal dementia and tauopathy independent of amyloid-β copathology
Carolin Koriath,Tammaryn Lashley,W. A. Taylor,Ronald Druyeh,Athanasios Dimitriadis,Nicola Denning,Julie Williams,Jason D. Warren,Nick C. Fox,Jonathan M. Schott,James B. Rowe,James B. Rowe,John Collinge,Jonathan D. Rohrer,Simon Mead +14 more
TL;DR: Apolipoprotein E4 has recently been described to increase neurodegeneration in a mouse model of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), in vitro, and in patients, demonstrating that ApoE4 modifies tauopathy independently of Aβ.
