Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

Insect Science, EarlyView.We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.
