Penicillium camemberti: A history of domestication on cheese

The white, fluffy layer that covers Camembert is made of a mold resulting from human selection, similar to the way dogs were domesticated from wolves. Scientists have shown that the mold Penicillium camemberti is the result of a domestication process. View the source article

Scientists 'scent train' honeybees to boost sunflowers' seed production

If you want a dog to hunt something down, it helps to let them sniff an item to pick up the scent. Now, researchers have found that scent training honeybees might work in a similar way -- and that this approach could make bees more efficient in pollinating crops. The findings show that honeybees given food scented with sunflower odors led to a significant increase in sunflower crop production.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/nKvd7EoqPVE View the source article

DNA unlocks a new understanding of coral

A new study challenges more than 200 years of coral classification. Researchers say the 'traditional' method does not accurately capture the differences between species or their evolutionary relationships. They developed a new genetic tool to help better understand and ultimately work to save coral reefs.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/gtpMiO0d-CU View the source article

Analysis of Australian labradoodle genome reveals an emphasis on the 'oodle'

The creator of the Australian labradoodle set out to mix poodles and Labrador retrievers to develop a hypoallergic service dog. But, according to a new study, the breed that developed from that cross is primarily poodle.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/MNKWhtwpaSQ View the source article

Making dog food more delectable by analyzing aromas

Dogs aren't known for being picky about their food, eating the same kibble day after day with relish. However, owners of pampered pooches want their pets to have the best possible culinary experience, especially for those rare finicky canines. Now, researchers have identified key aroma compounds in dog food that seem to be the most appealing to canines.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/62kj7pVUyS0 View the source article

African wild dogs have vestigial first digit and muscular adaptations for life on the run

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are known for their unique hunting style, often referred to as 'exhaustive predation', in which they chase their prey to exhaustion, rather than hunting using speed, strength, or stealth. They are also unique among the dog clade in having only four full digits on their front paws. Until recently, it was unclear how these unique behavioral and anatomical features would affect their forelimb morphology. View the source article

Treatment for canine ocular condition using turmeric

Researchers have produced a therapeutic derived from turmeric, a spice long-praised for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, that shows promise in decreasing ocular inflammation in dogs suffering from uveitis, an inflammation of the eye that leads to pain and reduced vision.

Why flat-faced dogs remain popular despite health problems

Owners of bulldogs, French bulldogs and pugs are highly likely to want to own their breed again in the future, and to recommend their breed to other owners, according to a new study. The development of breed loyalty toward these so-called brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs may lead to their continued proliferation and popularity, despite their substantial health risks.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/dogs/~4/w1RkSa2pBTw View the source article

Free-roaming dogs prevent giant pandas from thriving in the wild

Dogs are still menacing giant pandas. This is in part, because nature reserves in China are often closely connected to human settlements where dogs roam free. Dogs can roam over 10 km in a night and some feral dogs have even set up permanent residence in the reserves. View the source article
