This article’s aim is to elicit student veterinarians’ baseline nutrition-related perceptions and nutrition information-seeking behaviors at the time of entering veterinary school. Participants were newly enrolled veterinary students at the Ontario Veterinary College ( n = 120). Focus group discussions ( n = 19) informed the design of an online questionnaire capturing students’ demographics and perceptions of their own and their pets’ nutrition. Students reported being influenced by individual factors (e.g., time), social networks (e.g., family), and surrounding environment (e.g., cost, contradictory media messages). Overall, 58% of students considered themselves knowledgeable about pet nutrition when commencing veterinary school, with 71% prioritizing their pets’ diets as much as their own. Students’ confidence in finding pet nutrition information was correlated with perceived accessibility ( r = .76, p = .001) and perceived quantity of information available on pet nutrition ( r = .83, p = .001), but not quality of information ( r = .13, p = .03). In general, students relied on and trusted veterinarians for nutrition advice. However, 94% of students mistrusted pet food companies’ motivations. Our data support that students entering veterinary school have their own perceptions on pet nutrition that impact nutrition education, suggesting this as an important consideration in the design and delivery of a veterinary nutrition curriculum. Veterinary medical faculty should be encouraged to discuss baseline nutrition information and address any misconceptions to prepare students for future consultations with clients. }, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Kamleh, May K. and Khosa, Deep K. and Dewey, Cate E. and Verbrugghe, Adronie and Stone, Elizabeth A.}, year={2021}, month={Feb}, pages={71–83} }

Veterinary students face demanding schedules and potentially high rates of psychological distress. Though veterinary students’ strategies for healthy eating have been explored, factors influencing their ability to achieve a healthy diet are less understood. This study assesses incoming veterinary students’ perceived attitudes to their dietary habits and physical activity levels. Incoming students ( n = 322) at five Canadian and five randomly selected US veterinary schools completed a questionnaire inquiring about demographic information, dietary attitudes and habits, and activity levels. More than half (58%) of students perceived their diet to be moderately healthy. A desire to feel better and have more energy was the most reported (79%) motivating factor to modifying personal eating habits and was significantly associated with improved odds of having a perceived healthy diet ( OR = 2.22, p < .024). A busy lifestyle was perceived as a barrier to changing current eating habits by 92% of respondents. Students reporting a desire to maintain their health ( OR = 3.42, p < .001) and moderate ( OR = 2.81, p < .003) or high ( OR = 2.30, p < .044) routine physical activity levels were also more likely to perceive their diet as healthy. Findings show that incoming veterinary students’ perceptions may influence their goals of achieving a healthy lifestyle. An understanding of incoming veterinary students’ barriers and motivators could be applied in future research to assist students in achieving personalized goals. }, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Nielson, Shelby A. and Kamleh, May K. and Conlon, Peter D. and McWhirter, Jennifer E. and Stone, Elizabeth A. and Khosa, Deep K.}, year={2021}, month={Dec}, pages={747–755} }

Thus, nutritional guidance is an essential component of veterinary practice and integral to managing rising rates of pet obesity. This study examined pet owners’ trust of, perceived effectiveness of, and intentions to follow nutritional guidance received from their veterinarian in managing their pets’ diet. Methods A cross-sectional study of 1402 dog and cat owners in the USA and Canada was conducted using an online questionnaire tool. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression modelling. Results Clients are concerned about the effectiveness of veterinary nutrition recommendations. Cat owners were more likely than dog owners to consider the nutritional guidance they receive from veterinarians effective for their pets’ diet (1.75, P=0.04). Length of pet ownership, feeding dry diets and frequency of veterinary visits were all positively associated with owners considering veterinary nutritional guidance to be effective in managing pets’ diet. Conclusion Identifying these perspectives can aid in developing strategies to provide nutrition support to pet owners to improve their perceptions of, self-efficacy with, and compliance with veterinary nutrition recommendations.}, number={12}, journal={VETERINARY RECORD}, author={Kamleh, May and Khosa, Deep K. and Verbrugghe, Adronie and Dewey, Cate E. and Stone, Elizabeth}, year={2020}, month={Dec} }

In a quantitative study, we investigated the impact of these initiatives on veterinary medical education through a survey of academic leaders (deans, previous deans, and associate deans for academics from veterinary medical schools that are members of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges) to assess their perspectives on the initiatives and eight recommendations that were common to all three initiatives. Two of the recommendations have in effect been implemented: enable students to elect in-depth instruction and experience within a practice theme or discipline area (tracking), and increase the number of graduating veterinarians. For three of the recommendations, awareness of the issues has increased but substantial progress has not been made: promote diversity in the veterinary profession, develop a plan to reduce student debt, and develop a North American strategic plan. Lastly, three recommendations have not been accomplished: emphasize use of information more than fact recall, share educational resources to enable a cost-effective education, and standardize core admissions requirements. The educational planning initiatives did provide collaborative opportunities to discuss and determine what needs to change within veterinary medical education. Future initiatives should explore how to avoid and overcome obstacles to successful implementation. }, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION}, author={Stone, Elizabeth A. and Reimann, Jessica and Greenhill, Lisa M. and Dewey, Cate E.}, year={2018}, pages={388–404} }

Studies in Drosophila have revealed molecular pathways and neural tissues regulating sleep; however, genes that maintain genetic variation for sleep in natural populations are unknown. Here, we characterized sleep in 40 wild-derived Drosophila lines and observed abundant genetic variation in sleep architecture. We associated sleep with genome-wide variation in gene expression to identify candidate genes. We independently confirmed that molecular polymorphisms in Catsup (Catecholamines up) are associated with variation in sleep and that P-element mutations in four candidate genes affect sleep and gene expression. Transcripts associated with sleep grouped into biologically plausible genetically correlated transcriptional modules. We confirmed co-regulated gene expression using P-element mutants.

We quantified genome-wide transcript abundance and phenotypes for six ecologically relevant traits in D. melanogaster wild-derived inbred lines. We observed 10,096 genetically variable transcripts and high heritabilities for all organismal phenotypes. The transcriptome is highly genetically intercorrelated, forming 241 transcriptional modules. Modules are enriched for transcripts in common pathways, gene ontology categories, tissue-specific expression and transcription factor binding sites. The high degree of transcriptional connectivity allows us to infer genetic networks and the function of predicted genes from annotations of other genes in the network. Regressions of organismal phenotypes on transcript abundance implicate several hundred candidate genes that form modules of biologically meaningful correlated transcripts affecting each phenotype. Overlapping transcripts in modules associated with different traits provide insight into the molecular basis of pleiotropy between complex traits.}, number={3}, journal={NATURE GENETICS}, author={Ayroles, Julien F. and Carbone, Mary Anna and Stone, Eric A. and Jordan, Katherine W. and Lyman, Richard F. and Magwire, Michael M. and Rollmann, Stephanie M. and Duncan, Laura H. and Lawrence, Faye and Anholt, Robert R.
