Intraspecific range disjunctions occur when a taxon has geographic occurrences that are separated by large geographic distances, and they are one of the oldest observations in biogeography (Lomolino et al., 2006). Range disjunctions have provoked much thought in biogeography because they suggest that separate geographic areas were once connected, that longdistance dispersal has occurred between...

Motivated by the migration mechanisms of ecosystems, various extensions to biogeography-based optimization (BBO) are proposed here. As a global optimization method, BBO is an original algorithm based on the mathematical model of organism distribution in biological systems. BBO is an evolutionary process that achieves information sharing by biogeography-based migration operators. In BBO, habitat...

Biogeographers study all patterns in the geographic variation of life, from the spatial variation in genetic and physiological characteristics of cells and individuals, to the diversity and dynamics of biological communities among continental biotas or across oceanic archipelagoes. The field of island biogeography, in particular, has provided some genuinely transformative insights for the biolo...

The computational discovery of DNA motifs is one of the most important problems in molecular biology and computational biology, and it has not yet been resolved in an efficient manner. With previous research, we have solved the single-objective motif discovery problem (MDP) based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO) and gained excellent results. In this study, we apply multi-objective bioge...
