Optimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.Enhanced Cuckoo Search for Model Order Reduction ABSTRACT This article presents a critical review of classical and modern pole clustering techniques for model order reduction in high‐order systems. It highlights key limitations and common pitfalls encountered in traditional approaches, especially when extended to Multi‐Input Multi‐Output (MIMO) systems.

Ranging behavior of female and male Shiny Cowbirds and Screaming Cowbirds while searching for host nests [PDF]
, 2014 Pusimos a prueba la hipótesis que los tordos parásitos de cría buscan y localizan nidos de hospedadores dentro de un área relativamente constante, ya que esto facilitaría el monitoreo de nidos a través del tiempo y la sincronización del parasitismo con ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies
Ecology and EvolutionParasitism represents a prevalent and successful ecological strategy that has evolved independently numerous times across metazoa. Understanding the origin and diversification of parasitism is a central question in evolutionary biology.

Discourse Processes, 2015 The action of apologizing can be accomplished as themain business of the interaction or incidentally while participants are doing something else. We refer to these apologies as "parasitic apologies" because they are produced en passant (Schegloff, 2007), and focus our analysis on this type of apology occurring at the opening of the call. Such apologies

Virulence as a Model for Interplanetary and Interstellar Colonisation - Parasitism or Mutualism
, 2013 In the light of current scientific assessments of human-induced climate change, we investigate an experimental model to inform how resource-use strategies may influence interplanetary and interstellar colonisation by intelligent civilisations.

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible
Oikos, EarlyView.For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Eaten alive: cannibalism is enhanced by parasites [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Cannibalism is ubiquitous in nature and especially pervasive in consumers with stage-specific resource utilization in resource-limited environments. Cannibalism is thus influential in the structure and functioning of biological communities. Parasites are
