MEMNet: Learning Vehicle Motion Equivalency Mapping from Planar to Complex Terrains

Accurate off-road vehicle modeling remains challenging due to complex terrain geometry and nonlinear tire-terrain interactions. Traditional physics-based models require terrain- and vehicle-specific reformulation, limiting scalability and real-time ...

“Who Is Watching me?”: Recovering the Grammar of Stigma in Interaction

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article offers a praxeological respecification of stigma. I argue that the term “stigma” is a category term and glossing device, used to gather together and stand in for a diverse range of interactional experiences, including, but not limited to, degradation, discrediting, discrimination, marginalization, and being demeaned.

Avoidance or coexistence? Exploring spatio‐temporal niche overlap between two sympatric ungulates barking deer and Himalayan goral in a multi‐use landscape of Uttarkashi district, Western Himalaya

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ungulates play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the high mountain ecosystem by sustaining plant community structure and regulating predator populations. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the interaction of sympatric species in the mountainous landscape.

Tropical Domestic

, 2019
Tropical Domestic proposes a catalog of interchangeable architectural parts that when assembled together produce a number of unit-types. Tropical climates oscillate between intense periods of high temperatures, humidity, and rain which oftentimes ...

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Megafaunal engineering in the tropical rainforest: African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) reduce avian species richness but elevate functional diversity

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our paper investigates the crucial role of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) on the functioning of rainforest ecosystems, through the lens of bird communities. It reveals that the critically endangered megaherbivores are inextricably linked to survival of another key group imperilled by land‐use change: understory invertivore birds ...

Environmental and human‐related gradients shape the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in a central Amazonian white‐sand Forest

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This novel study examines how environmental and human‐related gradients influence habitat use and the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in Central Amazonian white‐sand forests (campinaranas), one of the naturally rarest and least studied ecosystems in the Amazon region.
