Post-fledging Behavior of Western Screech-Owls in Idaho
, 2016 Although common in western North America, the ecology of Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) is poorly studied. For many birds, the post-fledging period is also poorly understood because of the difficulty of tracking newly fledged young.

Beyond the Dichotomy of Success and Failure: Making Activism Meaningful in South Korea and France
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT First deployed in the 1970s, prefiguration has recently gained traction among ethnographers of political action as a descriptor for activist practices that foreground participatory democracy, horizontality, and direct action, as seen in social movements like Occupy Wall Street. Notably, ethnographers have come to understand these prefigurative‐

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

This article addresses the issue by introducing a new consumer price index that incorporates both official and black market prices.

Continued population recovery and high annual survival rates of White‐rumped Vultures in Nepal
Ibis, EarlyView.Populations of Gyps vultures in South Asia underwent catastrophic declines caused by unintentional poisoning by the veterinary drug diclofenac. Since the drug was banned in 2006–2010, declines have halted across the region, including in Nepal. The present study updates population trends of G.
