DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71514
Abstract: ABSTRACT This study reports a reproductive aggregation of a female Boa constrictor with five males in the Brazilian Caatinga. The observation reinforces the evidence of a polyandrous system, favoring larger females that copulate with different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00500-016-2322-8
Abstract: Inspired by the dispersal mode of beans and the evolution of population distribution in nature, a novel bionic intelligent optimization algorithm-named bean optimization algorithm (BOA) is proposed. It has stable robust behavior on explored tests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2023.3268674
Abstract: Surface longwave upwelling radiation (SLUR) is a critical parameter for studying the water-energy balance between the land surface and the atmosphere. In this study, we proposed a new hybrid method for estimating the clear-sky SLUR… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.2.6
Abstract: Corallus hortulana presents a large array of tones and color pattern variability throughout its distribution (= polychromatism), which trigged the description of several taxa now considered to be primary synonyms. Linnaeus described two of these… read more here.
