See4D: Pose‐Free 4D Generation via Auto‐Regressive Video Inpainting

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Immersive applications call for synthesizing spatiotemporal 4D content from casual videos without costly 3D supervision. Existing video‐to‐4D methods typically rely on manually annotated camera poses, which are labor‐intensive and brittle for in‐the‐wild footage.

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

Ibis, EarlyView.

We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling

Ibis, EarlyView.
Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...
