Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The optimization of dynamic systems has been a complex research problem in various fields of study, especially in ecology and communications. In the field of ecology, the Lotka-Volterra model explains the interaction between predator and prey populations and provides mathematical equations of their dynamics. Traditional mathematical models are usually unable to accommodate the dynamic involvement, which calls for more flexible ideas. Ant Colony optimization, which is a metaheuristic weight-based algorithm, uses multiple iterations to solve tough optimization problems efficiently, where classical methods have failed. To assess the effectiveness of adaptive optimization in ecological systems, the proposed framework is tested on both synthetic predator–prey datasets and the classical Hudson Bay lynx–hare population data. Compared to traditional baselines, it showed improved trajectory fitting and stability characteristics. This paper demonstrates the potential of Dynamic Impact Ant Colony optimization to be able to stabilize and optimize Lotka-Volterra systems under dynamic conditions.
