If the concern is your blog post, I would recommend you either:

a) The hedgehog is 25% more spiky, if raised in temperature 5°C less than average (source)

or

b) According to the new study from DPKR, the hedgehog is 25% more spiky, if raised in temperature 5°C less than average

BTW:

Several people are nowadays afraid of SEO, so they do something like this:

c) The hedgehog is 25% more spiky, if raised in temperature 5°C less than average (source: Google)

But my personal view is: Give credit to the original source and let your readers have a chance to visit the source.

And even in the case when original source seems to be "dodgy" (Here I used DPKR science research as an example)
