Terrain descriptors for landscape synthesis, analysis and simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Synthetic landscape generation is an active research area within Computer Graphics. Algorithms for terrain synthesis and ecosystem simulations often rely on simple descriptors such as slope, light accessibility, and drainage area. Typically, the results are assessed from a perceptual standpoint, focusing primarily on visual plausibility. Other

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

Shades of empire: Evidence from Swedish and Polish–Lithuanian partitions in the Baltics
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract In this study, we explore the long‐run effects of Swedish and Polish–Lithuanian imperial legacies in the Baltic region. Using a robust regression discontinuity design, we identify persistent differences in socio‐economic development across the South Livonia–Courland and the South Livonia–Lettgallia borders that emerged as a result of the ...
