Abstract Ecologists are adapting structural causal modelling for spatial, phylogenetic and time‐series analysis. However, ecological extensions of path analysis and structural equation models (SEM) typically assume that interactions among variables are stationary, linear and additive, while ecological and evolutionary dynamics are often nonstationary ...

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that typically arises in sun‐exposed skin of older or immunosuppressed patients. Combined or collision tumors involving MCC and other cutaneous malignancies are uncommon, and tumors exhibiting more than two distinct malignant phenotypes are exceptionally rare.

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9
Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to

Managing agency business groups, elite directors, and the rubber boom, 1897–1913
Abstract We identify a new organizational form, the Managing Agency Business Group (MABG), demonstrating how agency houses used interlocking directorships to build groups on the basis of commercial and plantation expertise to access finance on London stock markets and local capital markets in the pre‐1914 rubber boom.
