Dust Storm Optimization

Dust storms in nature are a typical large-scale particle motion phenomenon, characterized by multi-center rotation, random drift, and dynamic dispersion. In optimization problems, these characteristics can be used to inspire search strategies, achieving a balance between global exploration and local exploitation.

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...
