Species Distribution Models and Abundance Estimates Enhance Breeding Bird Atlas Data
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Our primary goal was to leverage the large amount of systematic and volunteer‐based data produced by the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas to develop species distribution models and population estimates for as many breeding bird species as possible. We utilized three complementary techniques to develop species distribution models and maps for 136 breeding ...

Clustering Using Levy Flight Cuckoo Search [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, a comparative study is carried using three nature-inspired algorithms namely Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) on clustering problem. Cuckoo search is used with levy flight. The heavy-tail property of levy flight is exploited here.

The Cognitive Foundations of Teaching
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The propensity to teach is vital to human cultural evolution and to our ecological dominance of the planet, but its cognitive foundations remain poorly understood. Traditional explanations argue that teaching hinges on particular cognitive pre‐requisites, such as Theory of Mind.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Cuckoo Search via Levy Flights
, 2010 In this paper, we intend to formulate a new metaheuristic algorithm, called Cuckoo Search (CS), for solving optimization problems. This algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behaviour of some cuckoo species in combination with the Levy flight behaviour of some birds and fruit flies. We validate the proposed algorithm against test functions
