Deep reinforcement learning for multi‐restart metaheuristics: an environment design for a hybrid of unbiased exploratory search and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐restart metaheuristics can be highly effective for complex optimization problems, yet their performance depends critically on how restarts and algorithmic parameters are selected. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning approach for managing restart‐level decisions and parameter configurations in the UES–CMA‐ES hybrid ...

Conservation and management implications of genetic and geometric scale variation in the ancient fish giant featherback (Chitala lopis)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant featherback (Chitala lopis) is an ancient species of freshwater fish considered globally extinct until extant populations were re‐discovered in the Sundaland region of Indonesia in 2022. To improve management of the remaining populations, this study used genomic DNA and landmark‐based geometric morphometric analyses of fish scales to ...

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.
