Noise pollution as a major disturbance of avian predation in Amsterdam

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Trophic interactions play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. In urban environments, avian predation has been demonstrated to be particularly important due to its effects on community structure, pest control, and nutrient cycling. As humanity relies upon ecosystem services for sustenance, and with 70% of the global population projected to ...

Bat algorithm based on kinetic adaptation and elite communication for engineering problems

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bat algorithm, a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the foraging behaviour of bats, has been employed to tackle optimization problems. Known for its ease of implementation, parameter tunability, and strong global search capabilities, this algorithm finds application across diverse optimization problem domains. However, in the

Optimal performance design of bat algorithm: An adaptive multi‐stage structure

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The bat algorithm (BA) is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimisation that simulates the echolocation behaviour of bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness, which can be used to find the globally optimal solutions for various optimisation problems. Knowing the recent criticises of the originality of equations, the principle
