Comparative analysis of female bubbling calls: Within- and between-species variation among the four species of Cuculus cuckoos

Avian Research
In brood-parasitic Cuculus cuckoos, male vocalizations are species-specific and easily distinguishable, whereas female calls are remarkably similar across species, making species identification challenging.

Eviction behaviour of the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus chicks

Journal of Avian Biology, 2007
We studied the eviction behaviour of common cuckoo Cuculus canorus chicks by video recording at nests of great reed warblers Acrocephalus arundinaceus and reed warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus .

Answering Spatial Multiple-Set Intersection Queries Using 2-3 Cuckoo Hash-Filters

, 2017
We show how to answer spatial multiple-set intersection queries in O(n(log w)/w + kt) expected time, where n is the total size of the t sets involved in the query, w is the number of bits in a memory word, k is the output size, and c is any fixed ...

Hybrid Osprey‐Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Single and Multiobjective Optimal Power Flow in Smart Grids With Renewable Energy Integration

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The proposed hybrid osprey‐salp swarm optimization algorithm addresses optimal power flow (OPF) problems in smart grids incorporating solar, hydro, and thermal generators. The algorithm is validated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30‐, 57‐, and 118‐bus test systems across five single and multiobjective OPF scenarios.

First documented case of Tawny Pipit Anthus campestris nest parasitism by common cuckoo Cuculus canorus in Spanish steppes

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2022
Interspecific brood or nest parasitism is a relatively common breeding behavior in birds. Through this reproductive tactic, brood-parasites avoid the costs associated with raising and maintaining chicks by laying their eggs in the nests of the host ...

Review on enhancing clinical decision support system using machine learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Clinical decision‐making is a complex patient‐centred process. For an informed clinical decision, the input data is very thorough ranging from detailed family history, environmental history, social history, health‐risk assessments, and prior relevant medical cases.

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]

, 2007
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Bio‐Inspired Optimisation Methods Applied to Low Carbon Power and Energy Problems: A Survey

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bio‐inspired optimisation methods have been widely applied to complex real‐world problems, particularly in low‐carbon power and energy systems, where optimisation tasks often involve high‐dimensional, constrained and mixed‐integer characteristics.

An updated list of parasitic cuckoos and their hosts in China

Avian Research
Avian brood parasitism is a unique reproductive behavior in which parasitic birds depend on other species to incubate their eggs and raise their offspring. In China, there are 20 species of cuckoos in the family Cuculidae, order Cuculiformes, of which 17

Brood parasitism and egg recognition in three bunting hosts of the cuckoos

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Comparative studies of egg recognition and rejection between various sympatric hosts provide insight into the coevolutionary history of the hosts and parasites, as well as the degree of antagonism between the species.
