In this paper, an improved spotted hyena optimizer (ISHO) with a nonlinear convergence factor is proposed for proportional integral derivative (PID) parameter optimization in an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). In the proposed ISHO, an opposition-based learning strategy is used to initialize the spotted hyena individual's position in the search space, which strengthens the diversity of individuals in the global searching process. A novel nonlinear update equation for the convergence factor is used to enhance the SHO's exploration and exploitation abilities. The experimental results show that the proposed ISHO algorithm performed better than other algorithms in terms of the solution precision and convergence rate.

Monitoring stress-related faecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) concentrations is a reliable, popular and established approach for understanding wildlife responses to perceived stressors. To maintain fGCM integrity post-defaecation, faecal material must be promptly stored frozen, or dried to prevent continued suspected bacterial enzyme activity. We compare the effectiveness of freeze-drying with other field-friendly drying techniques (food dehydrator and homemade solar oven).

Background: The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is one of the carnivore species that frequently comes into conflict with humans. These conflicts are attributed to their scavenging foraging behaviour and their ability to occupy habitats close to human settlements. In Tanzania, the Geita region has recently experienced an increase in livestock and human attacks by hyenas.

Article Synopsis
- Human motion classification is increasingly important for applications in health science and security, utilizing motion sensors and infrared cameras to capture movement and facial features.
- The developed system, Deep Kronecker LeNet (DKLeNet), employs a hybrid network design with advanced features like impulse radio Ultra-Wide Band radar for through-wall detection and optimized by Spotted Grey Wolf Optimizer, enhancing its effectiveness.
- DKLeNet demonstrates high performance with a classification accuracy of 95.8% and reduced computational time, making it efficient in distinguishing between actions such as walking, standing still, and detecting empty space.

The mammalian adult dentition is a non-renewable resource. Tooth attrition and disease must be accommodated by individuals using behavioral, physiological, and/or musculoskeletal shifts to minimize impact on masticatory performance. From a biomechanical perspective, the musculoskeletal system becomes less efficient at producing bite force for a given amount of muscle input force over an individual's life, because tooth-food contact area increases as cusps wear.

Information on long-range dispersal in tropical carnivores is limited compared to their temperate counterparts. Here we present data on long-range, transboundary dispersals for three species of tropical carnivores: African wild dog (), African lion (), and spotted hyena (). The dispersals we document in our savannah system are among the longest that have been recorded for African wild dog and African lion, while for spotted hyena one of our recorded dispersal events is of similar magnitude to the longest documented movements occurring among any carnivore species from around the world.
