A Review of Surrogate Assisted Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms. [PDF]

open access: yesComput Intell Neurosci, 2016
Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms have incorporated surrogate models in order to reduce the number of required evaluations to approximate the Pareto front of computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems. Currently, few works have reviewed the state of the art in this topic.

Determinants of genetic diversity in Neotropical salamanders (Plethodontidae: Bolitoglossini)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Genetic diversity is the raw material of evolution but varies between species in ways that are not yet fully understood. We used two genomic datasets for Neotropical salamanders to show that while diversity of coding loci is well predicted by population size and environmental heterogeneity, diversity of noncoding loci may be largely unpredictable ...

Improved selection strategy for multi‐objective evolutionary algorithms with application to water distribution optimization problems

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 38, Issue 10, Page 1290-1306, 1 July 2023., 2023
Abstract Multi‐objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been applied to water distribution system (WDS) optimization problems for over two decades. The selection strategy is a key component of an MOEA that determines the composition of a population, and thereby the evolutionary search process, which imitates natural selection by granting fitter ...

The anti‐Trypanosoma activities of medicinal plants: A systematic review of the literature

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2738-2772, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The existing drug treatments for trypanosomiases are limited and suffer from shortcomings due to their toxicity and the emergence of resistant parasites. Developing anti‐trypanosomal compounds based on natural products is a promising way of fighting trypanosomiases.

Conquest by Contract: Property Rights and the Commercial Logic of Imperialism in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Southern Mexico)

open access: yesBulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 557-572, September 2022., 2022
Property rights and contracts were important to the legal foundations of the Spanish Empire from the sixteenth century. The recognition of the property rights of indigenous people was part of the legal foundations of empire, but offered weak protection from the commercial logic of imperialism.

The innovation of the symbiosome has enhanced the evolutionary stability of nitrogen fixation in legumes

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 6, Page 2365-2377, September 2022., 2022
Summary Nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis is globally important in ecosystem functioning and agriculture, yet the evolutionary history of nodulation remains the focus of considerable debate. Recent evidence suggesting a single origin of nodulation followed by massive parallel evolutionary losses raises questions about why a few lineages in the N2‐fixing clade ...

A Novel Multiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization Combining Hypercube and Distance

open access: yesScientific Programming, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The multiobjective optimization problems are a common problem in various fields in the real society. Therefore, solving the multiobjective optimization problems are one of the important problems studied by many researchers in recent years. From the research in recent years, it can be seen that there is still a lot of room for development of particle ...

Traits explain invasion of alien plants into tropical rainforests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 3808-3819, May 2021., 2021
We demonstrate that alien plant species that spread from Indonesian botanic gardens and naturalize in adjacent native tropical rainforests have different traits to alien species that fail to naturalize. Species with high specific leaf area (SLA), small seeds and long residence times were more likely to naturalize than species that lacked these ...

Hybrid capture of 964 nuclear genes resolves evolutionary relationships in the mimosoid legumes and reveals the polytomous origins of a large pantropical radiation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1710-1735, December 2020., 2020
PREMISE Targeted enrichment methods facilitate sequencing of hundreds of nuclear loci to enhance phylogenetic resolution and elucidate why some parts of the “tree of life” are difficult (if not impossible) to resolve. The mimosoid legumes are a prominent pantropical clade of ~3300 species of woody angiosperms for which previous phylogenies have shown ...

Learning language regimes: Children's representations of minority language education

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 165-184, April 2020., 2020
Abstract Minority language education initiatives often aim to resist dominant language regimes and to raise the social status of migrant or autochthonous minorities. We consider how participating children experience these alternative language regimes by analysing drawings made by children in two minority education settings—a Slovene‐German bilingual ...
