Foraging theory was first developed to predict the behaviour of widely‐foraging animals that
actively search for prey. Although the behaviour of sit‐and‐wait predators often follows …

This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired algorithm called Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO). The
ALO algorithm mimics the hunting mechanism of antlions in nature. Five main steps of …

Starvation is defined as a failure to consume food following an extrinsic limitation. By
focusing on arthropods, I provide here a detailed review of how starvation affects foraging …

Renewable sources can supply a clean and smart solution to the increased demands. Thus,
Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Turbine (WT) are taken here as resources of Distributed …

Distribution networks have entered a new era with the broad adoption of the distributed
generation (DG) allocation as a practical solution for addressing power losses, voltage …

Traditionally, the distribution system is typically radial and the protection system has been
designed for this purpose. After increasing the distributed generations (DG) in distribution …

Sandy pitfall traps of antlions are elaborate constructions to capture prey. Antlions exploit the
interactions between the particles in their habitat and build a stable trap. This trap is close to …

Sand-dwelling wormlion and antlion larvae are predators with a highly specialized hunting
strategy, which either construct efficient pitfall traps or bury themselves in the sand …
