Component-wise analysis of metaheuristic algorithms for novel fuzzy-meta classifier
… as well as, Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Animal Migration Optimization (AMO) on ten numerical optimization problems with varying modalities. The proposed iPSO, iABC, and iCS were then employed on proposed novel Fuzzy-Meta Classifier (FMC) which offered highly reduced model complexity and …

Advances in the reconstruction of temperature history, physiology and paleoenvironmental change : evidence from light stable isotope chemistry
… (e.g., seasonality, El Niño, deglaciation), animal migration and physiology, and disturbance ecology (e.g., fire, flooding) benefits from the recovery of proxy information at decadal to subannual resolutions. The type of material used also dictates a spatial scale. Herein are presented four …

There and back again? : reproducibility and the hunt for a human compass sense
… magnetic field was also detectable by animals trying to orient themselves in space, a sense dubbed magnetoreception. Long enchanted with animal migration, University of Manchester biologist Robin Baker asked a fateful question: Why not humans? From 1976 to the late 1980s, Baker amassed …

RESOURCE SUBSIDIES ACROSS THE AQUATIC-TERRESTRIAL BOUNDARIES OF TEMPORARY PONDS
… via physical forces or biotic processes, such as animal migration or emigration. I quantified net nutrient fluxes associated with amphibian migrations across aquatic-terrestrial boundaries of eight temporary ponds in Illinois. I measured carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) subsidies from …

Quantifying population- and individual-level processes in Greenland white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons flavirostris) for holistic conservation planning
Migratory animals have complex life cycles as they move across large geographic ranges in response to seasonal conditions. These life history traits make them especially vulnerable to anthropogenic-induced climate change and land use change, as they experience a broad range of environmental …
