Animal Conservation, EarlyView.This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Agroecology and Transformative Adaptation to Climate Change
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines transformative adaptation to climate change through the EFICAS Project (Eco‐Friendly Intensification and Climate‐resilient Agricultural Systems) implemented across 12 upland communities in northern Laos from 2014 to 2020.

From Loss to Transformation? Towards Pluralistic and Politicised Agrarian‐Climate Futures
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how actors perceive and anticipate future states of the world is gaining traction in climate change governance scholarship and related calls for sustainability transformations. However, smallholder farmers, indigenous groups, and local communities, who are expected to bear disproportionate burdens of loss and damage from climate ...

Human-elephant conflict in Bangladesh;causes and intensity of fatalities.
, 2013 Executive SummaryThe intensity of human-elephant conflict is fast growing in tropical and subtropical countries. Why such a sudden increase in human and wildlife conflict? This question is not because researchers have become more interested but because people want to know the reason for this human and wildlife conflict and what kind of solutions can be

Veterinarian attitudes towards immunocontraceptive use in cats
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Background The continuously expanding global cat population poses concerns to public health, native ecosystems and individual animal welfare. These concerns have led to additional management strategies to reduce unowned cat numbers, including the development of feline immunocontraceptives.

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the 2000s, questions were open on whether the EU eastern enlargement would contribute to upwards or downwards convergence in labour standards, or even to divergence. Over two decades later, it is possible not only to attempt an answer, but also to identify the industrial relations processes that mediate economic integration between widely ...

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

Attention Based Optimization for 3D Shape Registration
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Transformers are sequence‐to‐sequence architectures originally designed to handle structurally rigid and order‐sensitive data, such as text and images. At their core, they exploit the attention mechanism, which is permutation‐equivariant and relies on computing token‐to‐token relationships.
