Playback attracts prospecting individuals, but habitat quality is key for settlement in the Wryneck Jynx torquilla

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Organisms do not only use personal but also social information for habitat selection. However, the use and relative importance of these two sources of information for settlement decisions remain unclear for many species.

Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Developing a low‐cost drone‐based method for deploying and retrieving autonomous recording units in inaccessible areas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are increasingly used for passive acoustic monitoring, but deploying them in remote or inaccessible locations remains challenging. We developed and field‐tested a lightweight, low‐cost floating platform for drone‐assisted deployment and retrieval of ARUs in wetland interiors.

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

From Rating System to Thought Leadership: The Evolution of the Canada Green Building Council

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green Building Social Movement Organizations encourage the adoption of green buildings, primarily by promoting sustainability rating tools. While numerous papers have explored the market impact of these sustainability rating tools, very few have examined either the lengthy and protracted process of their selection and enrollment by ...

Three sympatric host nestlings eavesdrop on cuckoo nestling distress calls

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
In predator–prey interactions, the prey faces extreme challenges from predation, which drives the evolution of defense or anti‐predator mechanisms. Compared with adult birds, nestlings are more vulnerable but not helpless.

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

open access: yesComputer 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.

Early singers attend to conspecific but not heterospecific behavioural cues at dawn

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2018
During the dawn chorus songbirds initiate singing activities just prior to sunrise. Environmental factors affect the timing of the dawn chorus, but relatively little is known about how behavioural cues influence chorus timing.

UrbanClipAtlas: A Visual Analytics Framework for Event and Scene Retrieval in Urban Videos

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Extracting actionable insights from long‐duration urban videos is often labor‐intensive: analysts must manually sift through raw footage to pinpoint target events or uncover broader behavioral trends. In this work, we present UrbanClipAtlas, a visual analytics system for exploring long urban videos recorded at street intersections ...

Closing Trajectories: Equation‐Free Cyclic Animation via Koopman Surrogates

open access: yesComputer 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 ...
