This paper proposes an ensemble multi-objective biogeography-based optimization (EMBBO) algorithm, which is inspired by ensemble learning, to solve the automated warehouse scheduling problem. First, a real-world automated warehouse scheduling problem is formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. Then EMBBO is formulated as a combination of several multi-objective biogeogr...

in this paper, a consistent pattern with the optimal coordinated design of pss and sssc controller to improve the damping of low frequency oscillations is shown. in this design, sensing and signal transmission time delays are considered as effectiveness parameters. the design problem has been considered an optimization problem and biogeography-based optimization (bbo) algorithm is used for sear...

† Biological Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute, University of Nevada System, P.O. Box 60220, Reno, NV 89506-0220, U.S.A Island biogeography is the study of pattern in the distribution of species on islands as influenced by ecological and evolutionary processes related to island characteristics such as isolation and area. The MacArthur-Wilson theory of island biogeography asserts that t...

Historically, studies aimed at prospecting and analyzing paleontological and neontological data to investigate species distribution have developed separately. Research at the interface between paleontology and biogeography has shown a unidirectional bias, mostly focusing on how paleontological information can aid biogeography to understand species distribution through time. However, the modern ...

Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in biogeography. In the marine environment, fish respond quickly to warming, causing community-wide reorganizations, which result in profound changes in ecosystem functioning. Functional biogeography provides a framework to address how ecosystem functioning may be affected by climate change over large spatial sca...

Are we entering a new ‘Golden Age’ of biogeography, with continued development of infrastructure and ideas? We highlight recent developments, and the challenges and opportunities they bring, in light of the snapshot provided by the 7 biennial meeting of the International Biogeography Society (IBS 2015). We summarize themes in and across 15 symposia using narrative analysis and word clouds, whic...
