The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is an efficient swarm-intelligence-based algorithm that
has made some significant advances since its introduction in 2020. A detailed overview of …

All animals face the possibility of limitations in food resources that could ultimately lead to
starvation-induced mortality. The primary goal of this review is to characterize the various …

In this paper, a novel swarm optimization approach, namely sparrow search algorithm
(SSA), is proposed inspired by the group wisdom, foraging and anti-predation behaviours of …

Fault diagnosis technology is key to the safe and stable operation of wind turbines. An
effective fault diagnosis technology for wind turbines can quickly identify fault types to …

Feature Selection (FS) is an important preprocessing step that is involved in machine
learning and data mining tasks for preparing data (especially high-dimensional data) by …

In gear fault diagnosis, most current intelligent fault diagnosis methods show good
classification performance for fault pattern recognition. However, when detecting fault …

Group living offers well-known benefits to animals, such as better predator avoidance and
increased foraging success. An important additional, but so far neglected, advantage is that …

Animals foraging in groups can either search for food themselves (producing) or search for
the food discoveries of other individuals (scrounging). Tactic use in producer–scrounger …

Social animals have to make a multitude of group decisions on a daily basis. At the most
basic level, this will involve coordination of activities and travel directions. In groups of …

Besides the “normal” challenge of obtaining adequate intake rates in a patchy and
dangerous world, shorebirds foraging in intertidal habitats face additional environmental …
