The accumulation of un-repairable DNA damage in laminopathy progeria fibroblasts is caused by ROS generation and is prevented by treatment with N-acetyl cysteine (2011)
Journal Article
Richards, S., Muter, J., Ritchie, P., Lattanzi, G., & Hutchison, C. (2011). The accumulation of un-repairable DNA damage in laminopathy progeria fibroblasts is caused by ROS generation and is prevented by treatment with N-acetyl cysteine. Human Molecular Genetics, 20(20), 3997-4004. https://doi.org/10.1093/hmg/ddr327

Fibroblasts from patients with the severe laminopathy diseases, Restrictive Dermopathy (RD) & Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), are characterised by poor growth in culture, the presence of abnormally shaped nuclei and the accumulation of D...

OsSFR6 is a functional rice orthologue of SENSITIVE TO FREEZING-6 and can act as a regulator of COR gene expression, osmotic stress and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis (2011)
Journal Article
Wathugala, D., Richards, S., Knight, H., & Knight, M. (2011). OsSFR6 is a functional rice orthologue of SENSITIVE TO FREEZING-6 and can act as a regulator of COR gene expression, osmotic stress and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. New Phytologist, 191(4), 984-995. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8137.2011.03759.x

The Arabidopsis protein SENSITIVE TO FREEZING-6 (AtSFR6) is required for cold- and drought-inducible expression of COLD-ON REGULATED (COR) genes and, as a consequence, AtSFR6 is essential for osmotic stress and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. Ther... Read More about OsSFR6 is a functional rice orthologue of SENSITIVE TO FREEZING-6 and can act as a regulator of COR gene expression, osmotic stress and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Model selection and model averaging in behavioural ecology: the utility of the IT-AIC framework (2011)
Journal Article
Richards, S., Whittingham, M., & Stephens, P. (2011). Model selection and model averaging in behavioural ecology: the utility of the IT-AIC framework. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 65(1), 77-89. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-010-1035-8

Behavioural ecologists often study complex systems in which multiple hypotheses could be proposed to explain observed phenomena. For some systems, simple controlled experiments can be employed to reveal part of the complexity; often, however, observa...

Contrasting life histories in neighbouring populations of a large mammal (2011)
Journal Article
Mason, T., Chirichella, R., Richards, S., Stephens, P., Willis, S., & Apollonio, M. (2011). Contrasting life histories in neighbouring populations of a large mammal. PLoS ONE, 6(11), Article e28002. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0028002

Background: A fundamental life history question is how individuals should allocate resources to reproduction optimally over time (reproductive allocation). The reproductive restraint hypothesis predicts that reproductive effort (RE; the allocation of... Read More about Contrasting life histories in neighbouring populations of a large mammal.
