Evaluating Encodings for Bivariate Edges in Adjacency Matrices

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present the first empirical evaluation of techniques for encoding distributions of quantitative edge values within adjacency matrices. In many real‐world networks, edges represent not a single value but a set of measurements. While adjacency matrices preserve structural clarity, their compact cells limit the simultaneous display of multiple

GNOCHI: Generative Neural mOdel for Close Human‐Human Interactions

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Creating realistic 3D human‐human interactions in virtual environments is challenging due to the high degrees of freedom in human body and the need for physically accurate poses that do not collide with each other. Traditional methods for humanhuman interaction are based on motion tracking or 3D body reconstruction, but lack generative ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...
