PREDATORS AS AGENTS OF SELECTION AND DIVERSIFICATION

Predators as Agents of Selection and Diversification

Predation is ubiquitous in nature and can be an important component of both ecological and evolutionary interactions.One of the most striking features of predators is how often they cause evolutionary diversification in natural systems.Here, we review several ways that this can occur, exploring empirical evidence and suggesting promising areas for

CMA-ES based topology optimization for acoustic cloak

This paper presents a topology optimization based on a covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) for acoustic cloaks rendering a scattering object acoustically invisible.The cloaks are designed by minimizing the scattering of acoustic waves around the object and the objective function is defined as the integrated intensity of the sca
