In this paper, a variant of Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) that uses reinforcement learning principles combined with neural networks to enhance the performance is proposed. The aim is to overcome, by reinforced learning, the common challenges of setting the right parameters for the algorithm. In GWO, a single parameter is used to control the exploration/exploitation rate which influences the perform...

Recent reports have indicated that some North African golden jackals possess gray wolflike mitochondrial DNA sequences [1,2]. The authors have suggested that those individuals may represent a previously undescribed gray wolf lineage present in North Africa, thus supporting previous claims based on the usual morphology and size of some canid specimens from this region [3]. Conceivably, the recen...
