Human Noise Negatively Impacts Cricket Survival, Reproduction
MEDIA ALERT: DENVER/May 2, 2024 – As the sun sets and the sweltering heat gives way to a balmy evening, there's one sound that fills the air, both beloved and bothersome: the rhythmic symphony of chirping crickets. However, human-generated noise can mask the harmony of the cricket song, prompting researchers to question if it is also drowning out the melody.
Petco Love, Blue Buffalo give $100K to support lifesaving science, adding to the $7M already donated for dog, cat cancer research
Media Alert: Morris Animal Foundation receives a generous matching gift from Petco Love and Blue Buffalo for the annual Stop Cancer Furever campaign.
Understanding How Bacteria Communicate and Promote Infections
Researchers will investigate how Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a common cause of bacterial skin and postoperative infections in dogs, forms groups of bacteria that stick to surfaces, such as catheters and orthopedic metal implants, making infections difficult to treat.
Assessing Antibiotic Use Following Colic Surgery
Researchers will conduct a small clinical trial to investigate any benefits of extending antibiotic administration beyond 24 hours in horses undergoing surgery for colic.
Developing Health and Well-being Guidelines for Air-Transported Horses
Researchers will investigate how horses are managed when transported by air to optimize their welfare, identifying factors that increase or decrease the risk of health and behavioral problems.
Linking Noise Pollution to Cricket Health and Reproduction
Researchers will investigate costs of human-generated noise on crickets as a model for other invertebrates. Invertebrates make up more than 95% of all animal species on Earth and form the backbone of most healthy ecosystems.
Improving In-Field Care for Eastern Black Rhinoceros
Researchers will investigate methods to decrease stress and associated health and welfare complications during immobilization and translocation of eastern black rhinoceros.
Developing a New Treatment Strategy for Osteoarthritis
Researchers will explore the potential of gene therapy (reprogramming of cells already present in the body through the transfer of genes) as a new strategy to treat osteoarthritis in dogs.
