J. Thirgood ISBN 0 946888 24 8 is a 1992 book published by the International Council for Bird Preservation . The book introduced the Endemic Bird Area EBA concept and argued for its use as a means of identifying important areas for the conservation of all biodiversity worldwide. The book starts with a number of sections outlining its overall aim, scope and methods. This is followed by a global overview, which is followed in turn by regional overviews for six regions North and Central America South America Africa, Europe and the Middle East Continental Asia South east Asian Islands, New Guinea and Australia Pacific Islands This is followed by a similar set of regional analyses for other groups of animals and plants. Two final sections set out recommendations for the use of EBAs in conservation priority setting, and a set of conclusions. A number of appendices give detailed data in tabular form on EBAs and their importance. The book does not describe the individual Endemic Bird Areas in detail a subsequent more detailed publication, Endemic Bird Areas of the World Priorities for Biodiversity Conservation does so, however.

That is, every player in a non cooperative game has a set of possible strategies, and must choose one of the choices. A strategy must specify what action will happen in each contingent state of the game e.g. if the opponent does A, then take action B, whereas if the opponent does C, take action D. Strategies in game theory may be random mixed or deterministic pure . That is, in some games, players choose mixed strategy mixed strategies . Pure strategies can be thought of as a special case of mixed strategies, in which only probabilities 0 or 1 are assigned to actions. Strategy based games all have a similar objective where the player thinks through a sequence of solutions to determine the preferred favorite in order to defeat the opponent.

Gonzalez et al. , Vol. 284, 101 111 2010 . ref In optimization, a common strategy is to search for the optimal solution starting from a set of initial guess solutions either random and educated guess . In the case when the cost functions are multimodal with multiple local best solutions, the final solutions may heavily depend on the initial starting solutions. In order to minimize such dependence on initial random solutions, most modern algorithms, especially metaheuristic algorithms, are able to escape local optima by using some sophisticated random techniques. However, most these algorithms are one stage type that is, once initialization is done, the search process continues until an algorithm stops. Running an algorithm many times from different initial solutions may occasionally improve the overall performance on average. Eagle strategy improves this by using an iterative, interacting two stage strategy to enhance the search efficiency by escaping the local optima and use initial solutions in difference regions. It uses a slow search stage and a fast ... stages in the strategy, each stage can employ different algorithms. For example, differential evolution can be used within eagle strategy ref X. S.
