Variation in home range size of red foxes Vulpes vulpes along a gradient of productivity and human landscape alteration
Home range size is a fundamental concept for understanding animal dispersion and ecological needs, and it is one of the most commonly reported ecological attributes of free-ranging mammals. Previous studies indicate that red foxes Vulpes vulpes display great variability in home range size. Yet, there has been little consensus regarding the reasons why home range sizes of red foxes vary so exten...
متن کاملSpatial confinement is a major determinant of the folding landscape of human chromosomes
The global architecture of the cell nucleus and the spatial organization of chromatin play important roles in gene expression and nuclear function. Single-cell imaging and chromosome conformation capture-based techniques provide a wealth of information on the spatial organization of chromosomes. However, a mechanistic model that can account for all observed scaling behaviors governing long-rang...
متن کاملBase Stacking Configuration is a Major Determinant of Excited State Dynamics in A.T DNA and LNA
Base stacking plays an important role in excited state dynamics in polynucleotides. However, it is poorly understood how stacking geometries influence the formation of and relaxation from excites states. Natural poly(dA)·poly(dT) adopts a B-form structure with extensive geometrical overlap between adjacent stacked adenines while the synthetic, locked ribose analogue (LNA), adopts the A-form str...
متن کاملWhat is a home range?
‘‘Home range’’ is a standard concept in animal ecology and behavior but few people try to understand what home ranges mean to the animals that have them and often assume that a home-range estimate, quantified using some method, is the home range. This leads to 2 problems. First, researchers put much energy into discerning and using the ‘‘best’’ methods for estimating home ranges while no one un...
متن کاملA single IGF1 allele is a major determinant of small size in dogs.
The domestic dog exhibits greater diversity in body size than any other terrestrial vertebrate. We used a strategy that exploits the breed structure of dogs to investigate the genetic basis of size. First, through a genome-wide scan, we identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 15 influencing size variation within a single breed. Second, we examined genetic variation in th...
