Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Influence of Trap Colour on the Capture of Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Honeybees, and Non-target Flies [PDF]

Studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of trap colour on the captures of honeybees, Apis mellifera L., codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., and non target muscoid flies in sticky delta traps. Traps varied widely in their spectral reflectance.

Leveraging obligate mutualism to resolve the rare species modeling paradox

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as vital tools for devising biodiversity conservation planning, yet modeling rare, data‐deficient species remains a significant challenge. To address this “rare species modelling paradox,” we propose a novel approach which posits that under the condition of significant niche overlap between the obligate ...
