## Abstract (arXiv)

Taking the role of a computer naturalist, a journey is taken through bio inspired algorithms taking account on algorithms which are inspired on living being behaviors. A compilation of algorithms is made considering several reviews or surveys of bio-inspired heuristics and swarm intelligence until 2020 year. A classification is made considering kingdoms as used by biologists generating several branches for animalia, bacteria, plants, fungi and protista to develop a taxonomy.
