Improved Black Hole Algorithm Based on Golden Sine Operator and Levy Flight Operator
IEEE Access, 2019 The black hole (BH) algorithm is a new type of natural heuristic algorithm inspired by the movement law of the “black hole” celestial body in the universe.

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory
Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.

Particle Dispersion on Rapidly Folding Random Hetero-Polymers
, 2003 We investigate the dynamics of a particle moving randomly along a disordered hetero-polymer subjected to rapid conformational changes which induce superdiffusive motion in chemical coordinates.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

BiomimeticsThe Sine–Levy tuna swarm optimization (SLTSO) algorithm is a novel method based on the sine strategy and Levy flight guidance. It is presented as a solution to the shortcomings of the tuna swarm optimization (TSO) algorithm, which include its tendency to

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urbanisation is reshaping how people experience wildlife, reducing our shared spaces with local biodiversity. Fewer opportunities for human–wildlife interactions weaken our emotional attachments to nature and precipitate a loss of species knowledge and familiarity.

Physicists, stamp collectors, human mobility forecasters [PDF]
, 2010 One of the two reviewers studied in high school to be a physicist. In the end, he became something else, but he never lost his awe of physics. The other reviewer never intended to become a physicist, but he sometimes asks himself why he didn’t become one.

Levy distribution and long correlation times in supermarket sales
, 2004 Sales data in a commodity market (supermarket sales to consumers) has been analysed by studying the fluctuation spectrum and noise correlations. Three related products (ketchup, mayonnaise and curry sauce) have been analysed.

Intermittent search strategies [PDF]
, 2011 This review examines intermittent target search strategies, which combine phases of slow motion, allowing the searcher to detect the target, and phases of fast motion during which targets cannot be detected.
