Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

A beetle antennae search algorithm based on Lévy flights and adaptive strategy
Systems Science & Control Engineering, 2020 The beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which has been shown to be very useful in many applications. However, the algorithm itself still has some problems, such as low precision and easy to fall into local optimum ...

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.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

PLoS ONE, 2018 Active search for prey is energetically costly, so understanding how foragers optimize search has been central to foraging theory. Some theoretical work has suggested that foragers of randomly distributed prey should search using Lévy flights, while work

Front Propagation of Exponentially Truncated Fractional-Order Epidemics
Fractal and Fractional, 2022 The existence of landscape constraints in the home range of living organisms that adopt Lévy-flight movement patterns, prevents them from making arbitrarily large displacements.

The topology of Rayleigh-Levy flights in two dimensions
Astronomy & AstrophysicsRayleigh-Lévy flights are simplified cosmological tools that capture certain essential statistical properties of the cosmic density field, including hierarchical structures in higher-order correlations, making them a valuable reference for studying the ...
