The no-wait job shop scheduling problem (NWJSP) plays a crucial role in industrial production and is an NP-hard problem. We propose a hybrid discrete artificial bee colony (HDABC) algorithm for solving the NWJSP with the total tardiness criterion. In the

The Weak Worker Hypothesis: a new framework for understanding division of labour in social insects
ABSTRACT In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour,

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

ABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.

We use topological data analysis to reveal a persistent morphological gap in a major group of songbirds (superfamily Passeroidea). The gap remained unoccupied for millions of years, even though nearby morphologies are common and the same body form exists in other groups of birds.
