Memetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Large-Scale Global Optimization

, 2012
Memetic computation (MC) has emerged recently as a new paradigm of efficient algorithms for solving the hardest optimization problems. On the other hand, artificial bees colony (ABC) algorithms demonstrate good performances when solving continuous and ...

Is Self-Incompatibility Related to Nectar Presence in Dendrobium?

Plants
Studies on the gain or loss of nectar during the course of evolution in Dendrobium Sw. (Orchidaceae) are able to provide important information concerning the reproductive biology of this enormous orchid genus and highlight reproductive barriers—in ...

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

From low to high elevations, flowers adapt traits and phenology to climate, but phenology‐trait relationships weak

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowering phenology is central to plant reproductive success and can relate to morphological traits such as size and quality of flowers, but phenology–trait associations of flowers remain unclear.

Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,
