Single Line Drawing Generation via Semantics‐Driven Optimization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present a method for automatically generating single‐line drawings in vector format, guided by a text prompt or an input image. Our approach leverages score distillation sampling to optimize the parameters of a uniform rational B‐spline (URBS) curve, ensuring that the drawing consists of a single continuous stroke by design.

Children &Society, EarlyView.Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 8
Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams–Landel–Ferry equation, of exhaustion/rate of dyeing/fixation data previously reported for and acid dye, natural dye and two reactive dyes on three different types of silk substrate revealed that thermally activated dye diffusivity is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the ...

Tourism, human–wildlife interactions, and wildlife trade in the globalizing Amazon
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Tourism in the globalizing Peruvian Amazon contributes to harmful human–wildlife interactions and the wildlife trade, with tourists participating in activities such as handling wildlife, taking selfies with animals, purchasing live animals, and wild meat consumption.

Ibis, EarlyView.Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics
Ibis, EarlyView.Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...
