Evidence that fin whales respond to the geomagnetic field during migration [PDF]
We challenge the hypothesis that fin whales use a magnetic sense to guide migration by testing for associations between geophysical parameters and the positions where fin whales were observed over the continental shelf off the northeastern United States.

Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) pulsed calls in the Eastern Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Killer whales produce pulsed calls, which are used for communication. Calls are highly stereotyped and repertoires are unique to individual pods. Discrimination amongst these calls and comparison of call repertoires between pods can help determine ...

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

Optimising PID Controllers for Multi‐Area Automatic Generation Control With Improved NSGA‐II
ABSTRACT Modern automated generation control (AGC) is increasingly complex, requiring precise frequency control for stability and operational accuracy. Traditional PID controller optimisation methods often struggle to handle nonlinearities and meet robustness requirements across diverse operational scenarios.
