A 2020 taxonomy of algorithms inspired on living beings behavior [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Taking the role of a computer naturalist, a journey is taken through bio inspired algorithms taking account on algorithms which are inspired on living being behaviors. A compilation of algorithms is made considering several reviews or surveys of bio-inspired heuristics and swarm intelligence until 2020 year.

The untapped potential of camera traps for farmland biodiversity monitoring: current practice and outstanding agroecological questions

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Through a systematic literature review, we show that camera traps (CTs) have been underutilised for farmland biodiversity monitoring. The few existing farmland‐based CT studies focused on local‐level management issues, such as disease transmission between wildlife and livestock, crop damage and use of artificial feeders and water troughs by wildlife ...

Planning and optimizing neutering programs for free‐roaming cat populations: An interactive tool for cost‐effective management in closed systems

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our interactive tool enables data‐driven planning of neutering programs, helping stakeholders optimize resource allocation and improve long‐term outcomes. This approach enhances management effectiveness and can be adapted to similar closed systems, offering a scalable solution for balancing ecological and societal concerns.

Genus Alternans in the Early History of Ibero‐Romance: Textual Evidence from Early Medieval Iberian Peninsula

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This study revisits the diachrony of the Latin neuter gender in early Ibero‐Romance. The fate of the Latin neuter is counted among the most long‐standing and yet the most controversial questions in Romance historical morphosyntax. While there has been a long‐held belief that neuter nouns merged into the masculine gender in late Latin after ...

Genomic investigations of successful invasions: the picture emerging from recent studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population expansion and adaptation to rapid climate and habitat changes. Certain phenotypic attributes have been linked to successful invasions, and the role of genetics has been

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Population genetics and the role of dispersal barriers in the Antarctic springtail Kaylathalia klovstadi (Collembola, Isotomidae)

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Our study investigates the role of Tucker and Whitehall Glaciers as barriers to the dispersal of the springtail Kaylathalia klovstadi and examines its genetic population structure using mitochondrial DNA markers. Genetic analyses of 62 individuals from six populations reveal new insights into the species’ diversity and distribution, challenging ...

Inferring Species Interactions From Co‐occurrence Networks With Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Data in a Coastal Marine Food Web

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, April 2025.
ABSTRACT A good understanding of biotic interactions is necessary to accurately predict the vulnerability of ecosystems to climate change. Recently, co‐occurrence networks built from environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data have arisen as a tool to explore interspecific interactions in ecological communities exposed to different human and ...

Community Analysis Reveals Biogeographical Patterns and Biodiversity Shortfalls in Antarctic Tardigrades

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 735-749, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades are important members of Antarctic metazoan communities with many endemic species. Major biogeographic patterns of Antarctic fauna have been identified, in particular regarding the zonation across the Gressitt line, dividing Continental and Peninsular Antarctica. Evidences suggest that Antarctic tardigrades follow this zonation
