Isolation of macro-nuclear DNA from the rumen ciliate Entodinium caudatum. (2015)
Journal Article
YOUNG, K.W., THOMAS, N.A., DUVAL, S.M., NEWBOLD, J., FRIED, J., BROWN, D.S., HACKSTEIN, J.H.P., MICHALOWSKI, T. and MCEWAN, N.R. 2015. Isolation of macro-nuclear DNA from the rumen ciliate Entodinium caudatum. Endocytobiosis and cell research [online], 26, pages 50-55. Available from: https://zs.thulb.uni-jena.de/receive/jportal_jparticle_00355360

A method is described which allows isolation of macronuclear DNA from the rumen ciliate Entodinium caudatum. Ciliate cells were enriched from the total microbial population in the rumen of sheep with a single ciliate species present by sedimentation...

Lobes on Alnus glutinosa nodules contain a single major ribo-type of Frankia. (2015)
Journal Article
MCEWAN, N.R., SNELLING, T.J., COLLINS, T., GIRDWOOD, S.E., WILKINSON, T., DOUGAL, K., JONES, D.L. and GODBOLD, D.L. 2015. Lobes on Alnus glutinosa nodules contain a single major ribo-type of Frankia. Endocytobiosis and cell research [online], 26, pages 83-86. Available from: https://zs.thulb.uni-jena.de/receive/jportal_jparticle_00364367

This work investigated the microbial content of nodules from alders to determine how many ribotypes of Frankia were present and which, if any, other bacteria existed within nodes from the nodules. The bacterial content of alder nodules was investigat... Read More about Lobes on Alnus glutinosa nodules contain a single major ribo-type of Frankia..

The role of ciliate protozoa in the rumen. (2015)
Journal Article
NEWBOLD, C.J., DE LA FUENTE, G. BELANCHE, A. RAMOS-MORALES, E. and MCEWAN, N.R. 2015. The role of ciliate protozoa in the rumen. Frontiers in microbiology [online], 6, Article 1313. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2015.01313

First described in 1843, Rumen protozoa with their striking appearance were assumed to be important for the welfare of their host. However, despite contributing up to 50% of the bio-mass in the rumen, the role of protozoa in rumen microbial ecosystem... Read More about The role of ciliate protozoa in the rumen..

Comparative genetic diversity in a sample of pony breeds from the U.K. and North America: a case study in the conservation of global genetic resources. (2015)
Journal Article
WINTON, C.L., PLANTE, Y., HIND, P., MCMAHON, R., HEGARTY, M.J., MCEWAN, N.R., DAVIES-MOREL, M.C.G., MORGAN, C.M., POWELL, W. and NASH, D.M. 2015. Comparative genetic diversity in a sample of pony breeds from the U.K. and North America: a case study in the conservation of global genetic resources. Ecology and evolution [online], 5(16), pages 3507-3522. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1562

Most species exist as subdivided ex situ daughter population(s) derived from a single original group of individuals. Such subdivision occurs for many reasons both natural and manmade. Traditional British and Irish pony breeds were introduced to North...

Sweat osmolarity shows intra-animal regional variation in the horse. (2015)
Journal Article
POTTS, S., THATCHER, R., JONES, A.W., WARREN, L.K., TENBROECK, S.H., NOTTAGE, F. and MCEWAN, N.R. 2015. Sweat osmolarity shows intra-animal regional variation in the horse. Veterinary dermatology [online], 26(5), pages 374-e85. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/vde.12225

Sweating is important in regulating body temperature, but can cause the loss of both fluids and electrolytes. In terms of studies on horses, the sweating process has been studied, but the variation in sweat osmolarity across the body has not. This wo...

Available from: https://doi.org/10.17221/8171-CJAS

This study investigated the genetic relationship between 6 populations of Welsh Mountain sheep: 5 phenotypic breed-types within the Welsh Mountain (WM) sheep breed, which have each been bred in specific geographic areas of Wales, and the Black Welsh...
