Double Parasitism by Two Cuckoo Gentes in a Daurian Redstart Nest
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Double parasitism is rare in forest‐breeding hosts of the common cuckoo, where females typically defend exclusive territories. We report a unique case in a Daurian redstart nest involving two different cuckoo gentes, despite one gens overwhelmingly dominating parasitism events in the population. This observation suggests that female cuckoos may be less

Using the Solitary Pollinator Osmia lignaria to Bridge Agricultural Practice and Ecological Theory
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We synthesize key ecological and life‐history aspects of the solitary bee Osmia lignaria, including early developmental stages, nesting biology, and foraging strategies. We further relate these traits to pollination services across agricultural and natural ecosystems and identify the most important current stressors affecting this species.

Multi-Strategy Adaptive Cuckoo Search Algorithm
IEEE Access, 2019 Cuckoo search algorithm (CS) is a powerful biological-inspired search algorithm, which is widely used in continuous space optimization problems. However, a single search strategy in CS makes all cuckoos have similar search behavior, and it is liable to ...

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 3346-3387, July 2026.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.

A rubust fractional order PID controller for MIMO power systems [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 This paper proposes a novel fractional order PID control scheme for Multi Input and Multi Output (MIMO) power systems. This control scheme utilizes Cuckoo Search algorithm to tune the fractional PID controller to guarantee better closed loop performance ...

Threats to Nature's Contributions to People Provided by Terrestrial Vertebrates Across Europe
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Species and ecosystem processes provide essential benefits to people, known as Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a macroecological scale, and of the threats they face. To address this, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the

The Presence and Behaviour of Birds at Two Prescribed Fires in Sweden
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Shifting fire regimes pose immediate threats to animal conservation. Swedish birds appear to mostly ignore prescribed fire, and some species even continue to sing. Behavioural plasticity towards fire is poorly understood, but may prove to be an essential tool in animal conservation.
