DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

Use and Trust of Digital and Traditional Media Among Recreational Anglers in Germany: Findings From a Nationwide Survey

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data on recreational fisheries are often limited, and scientists increasingly use digital platforms to collect information otherwise difficult to obtain. Using telephone‐diary survey data, this study examines angling‐related media use (face‐to‐face communication, angling magazines, TV or radio, YouTube, messenger services, social media, other ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

Ibis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Detecting community assembly filters in urban butterflies through analyses of non‐Gaussian trait distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Ecological filters shape community assemblages. When filters lead to non‐Gaussian distributions—for example, asymmetric, uneven, multimodal—the community weighted mean is insufficient to characterise the community. Urban environments exert deterministic directional and stabilising assembly filters on functional communities in butterflies, with a higher

EFL Learners’ Receptive Vocabulary Size and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Estimates Across Levels

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) is widely used as a reference for language teaching and learning. However, providing vocabulary size (VS) estimates is beyond the CEFR's original aim. Previous research has also shown that learners’ receptive VS is related to overall proficiency and to the four language skills ...
