Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Oikos, EarlyView.Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

The improved grasshopper optimization algorithm and its applications
Scientific Reports, 2021 Grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) proposed in 2017 mimics the behavior of grasshopper swarms in nature for solving optimization problems. In the basic GOA, the influence of the gravity force on the updated position of every grasshopper is not ...

Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Face‐to‐face interaction is a foundational concept in microsociology. This article surveys the social experiences of autistic people, who are commonly known for having a strained relationship with interactions face to face. By interpretively reviewing and synthesizing the broader literature on “autistic sociality,” the article provides a nuanced ...
