With the advent of Next Generation Sequencing and the Hi-C experiment, high quality genome-wide contact data is becoming increasingly available. This data represents an empirical measure of how a genome interacts inside the nucleus. Genome conformation is of particular interest as it has been experimentally shown to be…

Swarming in echolocating bats presents a compelling example of decentralised coordination driven by acoustic sensing. Unlike visually guided animals, bats navigate and maintain cohesion in dense groups using self-generated sonar signals. I present a biologically grounded simulation framework in which agents operate…

Passive acoustic sensing has emerged as a powerful tool for quantifying anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity, especially for echolocating bat species. To better assess bat population trends there is a critical need for accurate, reliable, and open source tools that allow the detection and classification of bat calls…

Bats face a complex navigation challenge when emerging from densely populated roosts, where vast numbers take off at once in dark, confined spaces. Each bat must avoid collisions with walls and conspecifics while locating the exit, all amidst overlapping acoustic signals. This crowded environment creates the risk of…

Cohesive animal groups rely on continuous behavioural updating to regulate spacing, alignment, and collision avoidance, yet all sensory-guided interaction is constrained by finite signal propagation delays, processing time, and motor latency. In actively sensing species such as echolocating bats, these constraints…

Bats are fast fliers with great maneuverability. Many species sense and communicate through echolocation, relying on acoustic signals in the environment. Bats also form large colonies, which necessitates that they fly in groups. When the group size increases or obstacles are in their flight paths, the acoustic space…

Traditional Species Distribution Models (SDMs) may not be appropriate when examples of one class (e.g. absence or pseudo-absences) greatly outnumber examples of the other class (e.g. presences or observations), because they tend to favor the learning of observations more frequently. We present an ensemble method called…

Evolutionary algorithms, a class of optimization techniques inspired by biological evolution, have emerged as powerful tools for the optimization of complex systems, including the evolution of mass-action chemical reaction networks. This work explores the application of evolutionary algorithms in this domain…
