Vision provides us with an ever-changing neural representation of the world from which we must extract stable object categorisations. We argue that visual analysis involves a fundamental interaction between the observer's top-down categorisation goals and the incoming stimulation. Specifically, we discuss the information available for categorisation from an analysis of different spatial scales ...

Large scale genomic surveys are partly motivated by the idea that the neutral genetic variation of a population may be used to reconstruct its migration history. However, our ability to trace back the colonization pathways of a species from their genetic footprints is limited by our understanding of the genetic consequences of a range expansion. Here, we study, by means of simulations and analy...

If the world should blow itself up, last audible voice would be that of an expert saying, “It can’t done.”
