Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Driven game shoots in the UK lowlands commonly release several thousand pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa in late summer, which is likely to attract the attention of the main generalist predator, the red fox. Game managers try to protect their releases by culling foxes.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Determining the sequence of handwriting and laser‐printed text on documents that do not intersect is a recurring challenge in forensic document examination. This study proposes using background toner particle distribution analysis combined with kernel density estimation and likelihood ratio calculation to evaluate printing–writing sequence ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.

A theory of political divergence and gradual institutional change
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some societies succeed in breaking away from historical traditions while others remain trapped? This paper proposes a formal theory to investigate the interaction between short‐run and long‐run political dynamics, highlighting a co‐evolution of political institutions and social structures.

A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.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

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We situate this article from/with/in the Necrocene, a geological period marked by the systematic production of human and more‐than‐human death to an extent that ecological destruction, extinction, loss and harm have become a structural feature of modern life.
