Journal Article
Yoseph, S., Smith, D., Mengistu, A., Teklu, F., Firew, T., & Betere, Y. (2005). Seasonal Variation in the Parasite Burden and Body Condition of Working Donkeys in East Shewa and West Shewa Regions of Ethiopia. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 37(S1)

A survey of donkeys arriving at markets in three localities in East and West Shewa regions of central Ethiopia was carried out during 2002. Total faecal worm egg counts and body condition scores were measured for a total of 963 donkeys over a 12-mont...

A Review of the Factors Affecting the Survival of Donkeys in Semi-arid Regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (2005)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Pearson, R. A. (2005). A Review of the Factors Affecting the Survival of Donkeys in Semi-arid Regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 37(S1), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11250-005-9002-5

The large fluctuations seen in cattle populations during periods of drought in sub-Saharan Africa are not evident in the donkey population. Donkeys appear to have a survival advantage over cattle that is increasingly recognized by smallholder farmers...

The effect of providing feed supplementation and anthelmintic to donkeys during late pregnancy and lactation on live weight and survival of dams and their foals in Central Ethiopia (2005)
Journal Article
Mengistu, A., Smith, D., Yoseph, S., Nega, T., Zewdie, W., Kassahun, W. G., …Firew, T. (2005). The effect of providing feed supplementation and anthelmintic to donkeys during late pregnancy and lactation on live weight and survival of dams and their foa

Anthelmintic treatment (A), feed supplementation (F), anthelmintic and feed supplementation (A+F) or traditional management (Control) was given to 166 pregnant female donkeys in three localities (Holetta, Debre Zeit and Adami Tulu) in Ethiopia during...

Participatory Study on Feeding Strategies for Working Donkeys Used by Campesino Farmers in the Highlands of Central México (2005)
Journal Article
Colunga, G. B., Arriaga-Jordǭn, C. M., Velǭquez Beltran, L., Gonzǭlez-Ronquillo, M., Smith, D., Estrada-Flores, J., …Castelǭn-Ortega, O. A. (2005). Participatory Study on Feeding Strategies for Working Donkeys Used by Campesino Farmers in the Highla

The aim of this work was to describe the feeding strategies for donkeys used by peasant farmers in central MǸxico. Feeding strategies for the dry and wet seasons are described, as well as the nutritional characteristics of the main forages and supple...

Digestible Energy Requirements of Mexican Donkeys Fed Oat Straw and Maize Stover (2005)
Journal Article
Carretero-Roque, L., Colunga, G. B., Smith, D., Gonzǭlez-Ronquillo, M., Sol, A., & Castelǭn-Ortega, O. A. (2005). Digestible Energy Requirements of Mexican Donkeys Fed Oat Straw and Maize Stover. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 37(S1), 123-142. h

The limited availability of food, together with the constraints that traditional management systems impose on the natural foraging behaviour of donkeys, often results in severe under-nutrition. Few studies have been conducted into the digestibility o... Read More about Digestible Energy Requirements of Mexican Donkeys Fed Oat Straw and Maize Stover.

Sensational Interests, Mating Effort, and Personality: Evidence for Cross-Cultural Validity (2005)
Journal Article
Egan, V., Figueredo, A. J., Wolf, P., McBride, K., Sefcek, J., Vasquez, G., & Charles, K. (2005). Sensational Interests, Mating Effort, and Personality: Evidence for Cross-Cultural Validity. Journal of Individual Differences, 26(1), 11-19. https://doi.org

We assessed whether violent or macabre interests ("sensational interests") were related to mating effort and a higher-order personality construct reflecting the combined features of higher Extraversion, lower Psychoticism, and lower Neuroticism in 1,...

The molecular pharmacology and cell biology of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors. (2005)
Journal Article
Palmer, C., Cotton, L., & Henley, J. M. (2005). The molecular pharmacology and cell biology of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors. Pharmacological Reviews, 57, 253-277. https://doi.org/10.1124/pr.57.2.7

-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptors (AMPARs) are of fundamental importance in the brain. They are responsible for the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission, and their overactivation is potently excitotoxic. Recent fi...

Photosynthetic responses to Cu2+ exposure are independent of light acclimation and uncoupled from growth inhibition in Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae). (2005)
Journal Article
Nielsen, H. D., & Nielsen, S. L. (2005). Photosynthetic responses to Cu2+ exposure are independent of light acclimation and uncoupled from growth inhibition in Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae). Marine Pollution Bulletin, 51(8-12), (715-721). doi:10.1016/j.ma

We have studied the effect of light acclimation on photosynthetic responses and growth during Cu2+ exposure (0–0.84 μM) in the brown seaweed Fucus serratus. Measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed that Cu2+ exposure amplified ETR,...
