Biogeography (the study of the geographical distribution of organisms) ranges from descriptive to interpretative studies. Interpretative biogeography developed two research traditions named historical and ecological biogeography, respectively. The main difference between these research traditions is the time-scale one. The objective of this paper is to summarize the current state of historical ...

Mathematical models of biogeography inspired the development of the biogeography-based optimization algorithm. In this article we propose a binary version of biogeography-based optimization (BBO) for the Knapsack Problem. Two new mutation operators are proposed to extend the biogeography-based optimization algorithm to binary optimization problems. We also demonstrate the performance of the res...

Ecological biogeography studies the factors that define the spatial distribution of species in the present time. This review summarises recent contributions on ecological biogeography. Most recent articles report environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and salinity as key elements in the ecological biogeography of many species (followed by other organisms and genetic characteristics...

Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) algorithm is a population-based algorithm based on biogeography concept, which uses the idea of the migration strategy of animals or other spices for solving optimization problems. Biogeography Based Optimization algorithm has a simple procedure to find the optimal solution for the non-smooth and non-convex problems through the steps of migration and mutati...

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...

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) has recently gained interest of researchers due to its simplicity in implementation, efficiency and existence of very few parameters. The BBO algorithm is a new type of optimization technique based on biogeography concept. This population-based algorithm uses the idea of the migration strategy of animals or other species for solving optimization problems. t...

This paper presents a biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm to solve the economic loadDispatch (ELD) problem with generator constraints in thermal plants.

Biogeography-based optimization algorithm(BBO) is a new kind of optimization algorithm based on Biogeography. It mimics the migration strategy of animals to solve the problem of optimization. In this paper, the clone selection strategy is combined with biogeography for solving the problem of sensors selection of aircraft. It is compared with other classical nature inspired algorithms. The compa...

this paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow...
