Genetic variation in field voles (Microtus agrestis) from the British Isles: selective sweeps or population bottlenecks?
The Eurasian field vole (Microtus agrestis) comprises three evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). The northern ESU is found at higher latitudes across the western Palaearctic region and includes six, largely allopatric, mitochondrial DNA lineages that were derived from population bottlenecks. One of these lineages is found in southern Britain and nearby...Herman, Jeremy S ; Stojack, Joanna ; Paupério, Joana ; Jaarola, M ; Wojcik, J M …

Osteoarthritis of the temporo-mandibular joint in free-living Soay sheep on St Kilda
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of synovial joints with the potential to cause pathology and welfare issues in both domestic and wild ruminants. Previous work has identified OA of the elbow joint in domestic sheep, but the prevalence of OA of the jaw and in particular the temporomandibular...Stojak, J ; McDevitt, A D ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Searle, Jeremy B ; Wojcik, J M
