An Improved Dolphin Swarm Algorithm Based on Kernel Fuzzy C-Means in the Application of Solving the Optimal Problems of Large-Scale Function

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
The solution of high dimensional function has always been a hot topic. In this paper, a novel algorithm based on Kernel Fuzzy C-means and dolphin swarm algorithm are proposed to solve high-dimensional functions more accurately.

Survival Rates and Capture Heterogeneity of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Adult survival is arguably the most important demographic parameter for long-lived species as it has a large impact on population growth, and it can be estimated for cetacean populations using natural markings and mark-recapture (MR) modelling.
