Nesting Island Creation for Wading Birds by C. Leann White, Peter C. Frederick, Martin B. Main, James A. Rodgers, Jr.

“… Many long-legged wading birds such as little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), great blue herons (Ardea herodius), and great egrets (Ardea albus) nest together in large aggregations called breeding colonies. Although different species vary in their habitat preferences, wading birds have several common requirements for nesting. …”

Population Consequences of Parent-Offspring Competition: An Individual-Based Model by Janusz Uchmański

“…Persistence of a population is increased by all forms of competition between individuals not weakened by any environmental factors (e.g. diversification of resources of competing individuals) or factors arising from evolutionary history of the species (e.g. mother’s care) and related in an appropriate way to the mechanism shaping individual variability in the population. …”

Transcendence of the Human Far Beyond AI—Kafka’s <i>In the Penal Colony</i> and Schopenhauerian Eschatology by Søren Robert Fauth

“…The article shows that this transformation corresponds to core concepts in Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy, primarily his doctrine of the denial of the will to live and asceticism. Instead of the species-narcissistic affirmation of life and the body that lurks behind much of AI and modern technology, Kafka strives for a definitive overcoming of the life we desire.…”
