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](http://www.google.com))

or

b) According to the [new study from DPKR](http://www.google.com), the hedgehog is 25% more spiky, if raised in temperature 5°C less than average

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)
