Dry food or raw? Diet affects skin gene expression in both healthy and atopic dogs

Differences in skin gene expression were observed between healthy and atopic Staffordshire Bull Terriers as well as between dogs that ate either dry food or raw food. Raw food appeared to activate the skin's immune system as well as the expression of genes that increase antioxidant production or have anti-inflammatory effects.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/NubkHTk5rds View the source article

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.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/KQATOQ7jU2Q View the source article

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).

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.

Study of ancient dog DNA traces canine diversity to the Ice Age

A global study of ancient dog DNA presents evidence that there were different types of dogs more than 11,000 years ago in the period immediately following the Ice Age.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/2C5cVgtr-pw View the source article

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

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
