Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.

High‐Pressure Synthesis and Chemical Bonding of Mg3BiN
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.The anti‐perovskite Mg3BiN is obtained by high‐pressure high‐temperature reaction of Mg–Bi mixture with boron nitride serving as crucible material. The compound is electron precise with essentially ionic bonding, and DOS calculations indicate semiconducting behavior.

SFK: Shape‐ and Function‐Grounded Keypoint Representation for Sequential Manipulation
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sequential manipulation is the process by which robots perform multiple interdependent steps to accomplish composite tasks, demanding tight integration of perception, planning and execution. Existing methods incorporate explicit features such as category, semantics, 6D pose or affordance to enhance consistency, yet single‐feature ...
