A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

An Improved Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) Algorithm

Abstract Harris hawks optimization is a recently introduced optimization algorithm motivated form the killer nature of bird called Harris hawks. They kill their prey using different strategies depending upon the escaping energy of prey. They usually hunt in packs of two to six hawks.

The effect of simulated intergroup encounters on movement patterns and home range use in banded mongooses

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Intergroup conflicts have a wide range of impacts, including affecting movement and ranging patterns. Previous studies found contrasting movement responses to intergroup conflicts, but no explanation for these differences has been suggested. However, these can be broadly grouped into ‘conflict avoidance' responses: avoiding areas close to the fight ...

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Optimal electric vehicle charge scheduling algorithm using war strategy optimization approach

Scientific Reports
In this work, a new kind of charge scheduling algorithm is proposed by utilizing the War Strategy Optimization (WSO) algorithm. The strategies used in the war such as attack, defense, assigning soldiers to take positions are the inspiration to this ...

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

From talking tools to metahumans: social interaction, semiotic skill, and the authority of AI chatbots Des outils parlants aux métahumains : interactions sociales, compétences sémiotiques et autorité des robots conversationnels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What does it take to turn a tool into a talking tool and that into an ultimate authority? Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in its diverse forms, such as large language models (LLMs), is celebrated as a useful tool. But LLM‐based conversational agents, or chatbots, the software applications through which ordinary users are likely to engage ...

Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Countering FIMI by Digital Authoritarianisms: Audience Architecture and Reverse Language Engineering

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) campaigns on social media are currently both more accessible and more impactful than the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) or European Union's (EU), offering their opponents superiority and efficiency on those platforms.

Coping With Changing Skill Requirements: Does Disaffirmation Versus Affirmation Affect Auditors' Reliance on AI‐Supported Advice From Specialists? Composer avec l'évolution des aptitudes requises : la dévalorisation (par rapport à l'affirmation) influence‐t‐elle le recours des auditeurs aux conseils de spécialistes qui s'appuient sur l'IA ?

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The digital evolution in auditing has triggered a rapid shift in auditors' required skill sets, with audit firms heavily investing in and extolling advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. However, this strong emphasis on newly required digital skills can lead many experienced auditors, who perceive these ...
