Effects of Anthropogenic Introduction of Substrates on Egg Camouflage and Nesting Success in Ground‐Nesting Birds

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We show that the introduction of artificial substrates, in this case, dredged materials to act as nesting substrate for ground‐nesting birds, reduced the effectiveness of egg camouflage for Kentish plovers compared to natural substrates. However, nesting success was not impacted, likely because the community of nest predators was diverse and used a ...

Complementarity in alliances: How strategic compatibility and hierarchy promote efficient cooperation in international security

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Neural Geometry Processing via Spherical Neural Surfaces

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural surfaces (e.g., neural map encoding, deep implicit, and neural radiance fields) have recently gained popularity because of their generic structure (e.g., multi‐layer perceptron) and easy integration with modern learning‐based setups. Traditionally, we have a rich toolbox of geometry processing algorithms designed for polygonal meshes to

2D Neural Fields with Learned Discontinuities

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective representation of 2D images is fundamental in digital image processing, where traditional methods like raster and vector graphics struggle with sharpness and textural complexity, respectively. Current neural fields offer high fidelity and resolution independence but require predefined meshes with known discontinuities, restricting ...
