Response of specific leaf area to light: comparative study of a large species set
Oikos, EarlyView.Specific leaf area (SLA) is a commonly used proxy for the leaf economy spectrum in plants, separating species with low‐cost leaves (in terms of carbon) with short lifespan and hence fast turnover from species with high‐cost and long‐lived leaves. While SLA is used mainly for interspecific comparisons, it also varies within species both ontogenetically ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

IEEE Access, 2019 In this paper, a novel hybrid firefly-bat algorithm with constraints-prior object-fuzzy sorting strategy (HFBA-COFS) is put forward to solve the strictly-constrained multi-objective optimal power flow (MOOPF) problems.

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada
Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Energy-Aware Task Scheduling Using Hybrid Firefly-BAT (FFABAT) in Big Data
Cybernetics and Information Technologies, 2018 In modern times there is an increasing trend of applications for handling Big data. However, negotiating with the concepts of the Big data is an extremely difficult issue today. The MapReduce framework has been in focus recently for serious consideration.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species
Oikos, EarlyView.There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

The relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands and conservation: A systematic literature review
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract A growing body of peer‐reviewed literature is focused on the relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands (Indigenous lands) and conservation outcomes. We performed a systematic review of this English reported peer‐reviewed literature (n = 111) to examine: the key characteristics; the conservation outcomes documented; the methods used in ...

Convolutive blind separation algorithm based on complex Givens matrix and bat optimization
Tongxin xuebao, 2016 For the limitations such as many unknown parameters, the separation accuracy was easily influenced by initial value of separation matrix in traditional convolutive blind separation, a kind of frequency method based on complex Givens matrix and bat ...
