In social insects, newly emerged individuals learn the colony-specific chemical label from their natal comb shortly after their emergence. These labels help to identify each individual's colony of origin and are used as a recognition template against which individuals can discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates. Our previous studies with Polybia paulista von Ihering support this general pattern, and the acceptance rate of young female and male wasps decreased as a function of their age. Our study ...

If the host birds discover the alien birds, they will leave the nest or throw the egg away. Cuckoo birds migrate to the environments that reduce the chance of their eggs to be discovered by the host birds. In standard CS, cuckoo birds experience new places by the Lévy Flight. In the proposed hybrid algorithm, cuckoo birds are aware of each other positions and make use of swarm intelligence in PSO in order to reach to ...
