Streptococcus uberis is one of the most common pathogens of clinical mastitis in the dairy industry. Knowledge of pathogen transmission route is essential for the selection of the most suitable intervention. Here we show that spectral profiles acquir...

Spatial variability in shrub vegetation across dune forms in central Saudi Arabia (2018)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. V., Haughan, A. E., Al-Dughairi, A., & McLaren, S. J. (2019). Spatial variability in shrub vegetation across dune forms in central Saudi Arabia. Journal of Arid Environments, 161, 72-84. doi:10.1016/j.jaridenv.2018.10.003

In desert dune environments, vegetation may be an indicator of dune stability and rates of sediment transport. As topography and underlying controls of vegetation vary over large spatial areas variations in dune form make scaling up of field research...

A multi-scale approach interpreting sediment processes and distribution from desert sand colour in central Saudi Arabia (2018)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. V., McLaren, S. J., Al-Dughairi, A., & Khalaf, N. R. (2018). A multi-scale approach interpreting sediment processes and distribution from desert sand colour in central Saudi Arabia. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(14), 2847-2862. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4438

In central Saudi Arabia the redness of sands observed on satellite imagery, often related to iron oxide amount, was used to better interpret geomorphic processes operating in the area. To compare variations between dune and interdune morphology, line...

Short- and long-term association between individual levels of milk antibody against Ostertagia ostertagi and first-lactation heifer’s production performances (2018)
Journal Article
Bellet, C., Green, M., Bradley, A., & Kaler, J. (2018). Short- and long-term association between individual levels of milk antibody against Ostertagia ostertagi and first-lactation heifer’s production performances. Veterinary Parasitology, 256, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2018.04.008

It is agreed that exposure of adult dairy cattle to helminths on pasture can negatively affect production performances as milking herd. Young animals, especially replacement heifers, represent the future of a dairy farm and are among the most vulnera...
