The dynamic organization of chromatin inside the cell nucleus plays a key role in gene regulation and genome replication, as well maintaining integrity. Although static folded state has been extensively studied, dynamical signatures processes such transcription or DNA repair remain an open question. Here, we investigate interphase dynamics human cells response to local damage, specifically, dou...

1. Tropical forest tree diversity has been hypothesized to be maintained via the attraction of density responsive and species-specific enemies. Tests of this hypothesis usually assume a linear relationship between enemy pressure (amount of damage and enemy richness) and seedling or tree density. However, enemy pressure is likely to change nonlinearly with local seedling abundance and community ...

Considering how people perceive risks to their livelihoods from local wildlife is central to (i) understanding the impact of crop damage by animals on local people and (ii) recognising how this influences their interactions with, and attitudes towards, wildlife. Participatory risk mapping (PRM) is a simple, analytical tool that can be used to identify and classify risk within communities. Here ...
