The impact of behavioural diversity in the evolution of multi-agent systems robust to dynamic environments
Behavioural diversity has been shown to be beneficial in biological social systems, such as insect colonies and human societies, as well as artificial systems such as large-scale swarm robotics applications. Evolutionary swarm robotics is a popular experimental platform for demonstrating the …

Neural diversity in multi-agent learning
… While studies in natural systems have identified diversity as one of the core principles leading to its emergence, research in collective artificial intelligence has left diversity largely underexplored. The lack of work studying behavioural diversity in multi-agent learning is due to traditional …

The Cambrian: Sedimentary controls on marine ichnology and stratigraphic time at outcrop
… for understanding this dynamic: trace fossil diversity (ichnodiversity) reflects ecological diversity and evolutionary trends, while also providing insight into how erosion, deposition, and sedimentary stasis affected the registration of such signals within the stratigraphic record. Here, …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
… units to capture ecological and evolutionary diversity. To do this, traditional frameworks often emphasize genetic or taxonomic criteria as a first line of evidence for evolutionary significance. While useful, this approach assumes discrete boundaries within species, potentially overlooking …

Bioprospecting surfactants produced by <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. isolated from soil for potential application in biotechnology
… by using chemical media and (ii) study the diversity amongst the best-performing surfactants produced by Pseudomonas spp. with the intention of finding novel surfactants that could be used in different biotechnological applications. A total of 251 Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from soil. …

Late Quaternary palaeoenvironments and Middle-Late Stone Age habitat preferences in the Nakuru-Naivasha Basin, Kenya: phytolith-based evidence from the site of Prospect Farm
… and expansion of populations occurred, allowing diversity to arise. Competing Middle Stone Age (MSA) behavioural-ecological models disagree in respect to their conceptualization of the nature of past human adaptations to xeric savanna, mesic savanna, and forest/wooded habitats, as well as how MSA …
