Partitioned Desires: Female Agency and Interfaith Relationships Around the Partition of India
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Through an examination of the phenomenon of abduction, I suggest that the preoccupation with women's violation during the 1947 Partition of India has obfuscated a history of female desire. Considering accusations of kidnapping made by women's families against men belonging to a different religion in instances of interfaith desire, I ...

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Graph‐based Black and White Stylization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Stippling is an art style forming images from large numbers of small dots. Computer graphics practitioners have proposed numerous algorithms for stippling and stippling variants over the years. In this paper, we propose a black and white image stylization technique in which the image is formed from heterogeneous black and white vector marks ...

Closing Trajectories: Equation‐Free Cyclic Animation via Koopman Surrogates
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Cyclic animation is widely used in computer graphics and interactive content. It supports seamless playback in games, VR, and interactive simulation, where short clips must repeat smoothly over long durations. Converting an observed non‐cyclic trajectory into a seamless loop is challenging because the endpoint states of the observed sequence ...
