New genome alignment tool empowers large-scale studies of vertebrate evolution

Three new articles present major advances in understanding the evolution of birds and mammals, made possible by new methods for comparing the genomes of hundreds of species. Researchers developed a powerful new genome alignment method that has made the new studies possible, including the largest genome alignment ever achieved of more than 600 vertebrate genomes.

Swedish, Finnish and Russian wolves closely related

The Scandinavian wolf originally came from Finland and Russia, and unlike many other European wolf populations its genetic constitution is virtually free from dog admixture. In addition, individuals have migrated into and out of Scandinavia. These findings have emerged from new research in which genetic material from more than 200 wolves was analyzed.

Researchers identify new Rickettsia bacteria species in dogs

Researchers have identified a new species of Rickettsia bacteria that may cause significant disease in dogs and humans. This new yet unnamed species, initially identified in three dogs, is part of the spotted-fever group Rickettsia which includes Rickettsia rickettsii, the bacteria that cause Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF).http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/djDDGXpJBUI View the source article

Do octopuses' arms have a mind of their own?

Octopuses are strange creatures, with three hearts, eight arms and a nervous system distinct from any other animal. These fiercely intelligent creatures are jam-packed with over 500 million neurons, but over two thirds of these neurons are located within their arms and body. Many scientists therefore think that octopuses' arms act independently from the brain, but a new study suggests that an octopus' arms and brain are more connected than previously thought.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scienc

Why Does My Dog Eat Grass?

Have you ever taken your dog out for a potty break and turned your back, only to discover them chomping on a large mouthful of grass? While you might panic and think about the vomit you’ll be cleaning off the carpet later on, this behavior is not always cause for alarm. But why do they do it and how do you know when it is actually a problem? Why Do Dogs Eat Grass? Some dog owners and veterinarians assume that grass eating is a form of pica, or eating strange items, sometimes caused by a diet d

The Subtleties and Seriousness of Chronic Pain in Dogs

Dogs are known for their stoicism, and even the most loving owner might miss signs that their pet is suffering. Progressive, persistent pain that creeps up on a dog is often tricky to spot. Referred to as chronic, it can dramatically impact their quality of life. Understanding the Differences Between Acute and Chronic Pain Dr. Lindsey Fry is a Veterinarian and Co-owner of Red Sage Vets in Colorado. The practice specializes in pain management and rehabilitation. She explains that acute pain i

Cognitive elements of language have existed for 40 million years

Humans are not the only beings that can identify rules in complex language-like constructions -- monkeys and great apes can do so, too, a new study has shown. Researcher used a series of experiments based on an 'artificial grammar' to conclude that this ability can be traced back to our ancient primate ancestors.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/qU9VXVKyt90 View the source article

OCD in Dogs: Can it Happen?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in the dog world is also known as Canine Compulsive Disorder or CCD. It’s identified by normal dog behaviors that are performed in such an extreme, repetitive way that they are difficult for the dog to stop and can interfere with the dog’s ability to function. Examples of normal dog behaviors that in some dogs have become compulsive include sucking on their flanks or a toy; incessant licking, called acral lick dermatitis; pacing, spinning, and chasing the tai

Dog brains do not prefer faces

Even though dogs gaze into man's eyes, dog brains may not process faces as human brains do. A new study suggests that the canine visual system is organized differently: the face network found in primates may not extend to all mammals.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/XPh2WmhQR9A View the source article
