This paper presents a novel meta-heuristic algorithm named Chameleon Swarm Algorithm
(CSA) for solving global numerical optimization problems. The base inspiration for CSA is …

Chameleon swarm algorithm (CSA) is a newly proposed swarm intelligence algorithm
inspired by the chameleon's foraging strategies of tracking, searching and attacking targets …

To capture prey, chameleons ballistically project their tongues as far as 1.5 body lengths
with accelerations of up to 500 ms⊃–2. At the core of a chameleon's tongue is a cylindrical …

Ontogenetic habitat shifts have been documented in numerous fish and amphibians and in
some reptiles. Intraspecific competition together with differential predation, prey size, social …

The exceptionally high speed at which syngnathid fishes are able to rotate their snout
towards prey and capture it by suction is potentially caused by a catapult mechanism in …

Extremely fast animal actions are accomplished with mechanisms that reduce the duration of
movement. This process is known as power amplification. Although many studies have …

Chameleons so easily capture the imagination, and have done so for centuries. In scientific
writings, they first appear with Aristotle (350 BC), and although they were recognized as …

Soft robots capable of efficiently implementing tasks in fluid-immersed environments hold
great promise for diverse applications. However, it remains challenging to achieve …

The head is a complex integrated system that is implicated in many vital functions. As such,
its morphology is impacted by different and sometimes conflicting demands. Consequently …

The vertebrate gut tube can be divided into “front-end” and “back-end” components
according to topology, function, and research tradition. The purpose of front-end feeding …
