Delineating seasonal shifts in reindeer habitat and diet selection by integrating GPS telemetry and stable isotope analysis

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Identifying Causes of Reproductive Failure in Zoo‐Housed Bush Dogs (Speothos venaticus) to Improve Ex Situ Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

A secured cloud‐medical data sharing with A‐BRSA and Salp ‐Ant Lion Optimisation Algorithm

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharing medical data among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients is crucial for efficient healthcare services. Cloud‐assisted smart healthcare (s‐healthcare) systems have made it easier to store EHRs effectively. However, the traditional encryption algorithms used to secure this data can be vulnerable to attacks if the encryption key

Bio‐Inspired Optimisation Methods Applied to Low Carbon Power and Energy Problems: A Survey

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bio‐inspired optimisation methods have been widely applied to complex real‐world problems, particularly in low‐carbon power and energy systems, where optimisation tasks often involve high‐dimensional, constrained and mixed‐integer characteristics.

Heat transfer modeling in a transformer using magneto-CFD analysis and GWO algorithm considering dynamic thermal model

Results in Engineering
One of the most expensive power system components is transformer. The correct use and health of the transformer increase the reliability of the power network.The transformer health is depend on careful planning for it.

Electromagnetic cloak design with mono-objective and bi-objective optimizers: seeking the best tradeoff between protection and invisibility

EPJ Applied Metamaterials
We revisit the design of cloaks, without resorting to any geometric transform. Cancellation techniques and anomalous resonances have been applied for this purpose. Instead of a deductive reasoning, we propose a novel mono-objective optimization algorithm,

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

Functional trait interactions in a human‐dominated world: Urbanization and reproduction in Eurasian red squirrels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traits such as behaviour, physiology and morphology mediate an organism's interaction with its environment, and understanding their joint contribution to reproductive fitness is essential for predicting biological responses to global change.

Synthesis of sparse rectangular planar arrays with weight function and improved grey wolf optimization algorithm

IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation
The present article proposes a novel hybrid approach for addressing the synthesis problem of rectangular planar arrays under multiple constraints, through joint optimization of the weight function and the improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) algorithm.
