Leaf-cutting ants are important pests of agricultural and forest crops. Currently, few insecticides are registered for the control of these insects. Natural bioactive molecules can serve as models for the synthesis of new insecticidal compounds. Such ant...

Ocean acidification may diminish the response of many marine organisms to chemical cues that can be used to sense nearby food and predators, potentially altering community dynamics. We used a Y-maze choice experiment to investigate the impact of ocean ac...

In the literature, several exploration algorithms have been proposed so far. Among these, Lévy walk is commonly used since it is proved to be more efficient than the simple random-walk exploration. It is beneficial when targets are sparsely distributed i...

Co-flowering plants can experience an array of interactions, ranging from facilitation to competition, the direction and strength of which are often dependent on the relative abundance and diversity of the plant species involved and the foraging behavior...

In this work, we identified the seasonal and spatial variations in fish assemblages and their relation to environmental variables in the Yangtze Estuary and adjacent waters. A total of 61 fish species in 32 families were identified over four seasons; of ...

This article presents a macroscopic swarm foraging behavior obtained using deep reinforcement learning. The selected behavior is a complex task in which a group of simple agents must be directed towards an object to move it to a target position without t...

Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a new kind of swarm-based optimization algorithm that mimics the foraging behavior of humpback whales. WOA models the particular hunting behavior with three stages: encircling prey, bubble-net attacking, and search f...

The Shannon dolphins are a population of bottlenose dolphins resident year round within the Lower River Shannon SAC, Ireland, which has been designated to protect this relatively small, genetically discrete population. Although trends in habitat use and ...
