Host Manipulation by Parasites: A Look Back Before Moving Forward.

The ability to manipulate host behaviour is among the most fascinating and best-studied adaptations of parasites. In this opinion article, we highlight trends and biases in the study of this phenomenon that may cloud or limit our understanding of its evolution. For instance, reviews and theoretical studies have shown a disproportionately sharp increase in the past decade relative to empirical s...

Forward Mapped Planar Mirror Reflections

This paper presents a new technique, which we call depth-preserving reflection mapping, to render mirror-like reflections on planar surfaces in constant time. It is a hybrid solution which combines geometry-based rendering and imagebased rendering into a two-pass mirror reflection rendering approach. The technique extends the traditional reflection mapping to preserve depth per texel and uses f...
