Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Community‐based social marketing is associated with shorebird responses along the U.S. Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the biological effectiveness of community‐based social marketing (CBSM) campaigns designed to reduce human disturbance to shorebirds along the U.S. Atlantic coast. Using behavioral, point count, and nesting data from six species across five states, we found that campaigns encouraging beachgoers to walk around flocks, particularly when ...
