Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.The proposed hybrid osprey‐salp swarm optimization algorithm addresses optimal power flow (OPF) problems in smart grids incorporating solar, hydro, and thermal generators. The algorithm is validated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30‐, 57‐, and 118‐bus test systems across five single and multiobjective OPF scenarios.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Invasive species have led to precipitous declines in biodiversity, especially in island systems. Brown (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (R. rattus) are among the most invasive animals on the planet, with eradication being the primary tool for ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Dicrananthera C. Presl. is a monospecific genus of the tribe Marcetieae, comprising perennial herbs typically occurring in areas adjacent to wetlands. The species exhibits a disjunct distribution, with confirmed records in both the Amazon and Atlantic Forest domains.

Application of Island Biogeography Theory to Temporary Pools
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 1995 Abstract One aspect of island biogeography theory contends that a direct correlation exists between the size of an island and the species richness of an island. We applied this aspect of island biogeography theory to temporary pools. Six temporary pools were randomly selected and placed into three size categories based on the volume of water contained ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Oikos, EarlyView.Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

An Essay: Geoedaphics and Island Biogeography for Vascular Plants
, 1991 Islands of discontinuity in the distribution of plants are common in mainland (continental) regions. Such discontinuities should be amenable to testing the tenets of MacArthur and Wilson\u27s island biogeography theory.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Tiny, leafless fairy lanterns are easily overlooked on the forest floor. Thismia abei, endemic to Japan, persists in small, unstable populations and is listed nationally as Critically Endangered. Our recent work has revealed another, less obvious form of obscurity.
