Comparative diversity management

Comparative diversity management compares and contrasts diversity management across multiple contexts (see, for example, Risberg Soderberg, 2008). 

The issues of evolutionary library design in the frame of material and catalyst discovery were described. Concepts of diversity management on material library to enhance the efficiency of the optimisation were proposed. The diversity monitoring is implemented via two different approaches. The first deals with a dynamic monitoring of mutation and crossover rates, whereas the second involves a selection step based on sample distance . Simulations of optimisation were performed on a surface response, which was designed to mimic realistic data. Algorithm performances were compared in terms of both efficiency and reUability. 

A final assessment can conclude that organic farming creates "comparatively more favourable" conditions on the species and ecosystem level of floral and faunal diversity than conventional farming systems. This is due to a plant protection management (ban of synthetic pesticides) that is better for the biotic...
