TL;DR: Comparative genome analysis between cultivated rice subspecies shows that there is an overall syntenic relationship between the chromosomes and divergence at the level of single-nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions and deletions, and by contrast, there is little conservation in gene order between rice and Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that if environmental regimes are sufficiently affected by large external impacts that flickering is induced, then early warning signals of transitions in modern social–ecological systems may be stronger, and hence easier to identify, than previously thought.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework for defining the safe and just operating space for humanity that integrates social wellbeing into the original planetary boundaries concept for application at regional scales, arguing that such a framework can increase the policy impact of the boundaries concept as most governance takes place at the regional rather than planetary scale; contribute to the understanding and dissemination of complexity thinking throughout governance and policy-making; act as a powerful metaphor and communication tool for regional equity and sustainability.

TL;DR: This map is the first example of a rapid and reliable physical mapping on the basis of the integration of the data from two taxonomically related subspecies and showed that the short arm and the pericentromeric region of the long arm are rich in heterochromatin, indicating that this chromosome is likely very difficult to sequence.

TL;DR: A diagnostic signal of changes in the coefficients of a correlation between compositional disorder and biodiversity is identified, which is robust to unequal time increments that beset the identification of early‐warning signals from other metrics.
