By using the dynamic FDB selection method, you can transform meta-heuristic search algorithms into a more powerful and efficient method. For this, you should analyze the guide selection process in the meta-heuristic search algorithm and integrate the dynamic FDB selection method into this process. In the uploaded source codes, we applied the dFDB method in the guide selection process of the MRFO algorithm and achieved a unique improvement in the performance of the MRFO. If you read the article that introduces the source codes and the dFDB-MRFO algorithm, you can redesign different algorithms with the dFDB selection method and improve their performance.
Manta Ray Foraging Optimizer has been redesigned using the dFDB method, and thus the dFDB-MRFO algorithm has been developed with improved search performance. dFDB-MRFO is an up-to-date and powerful meta-heuristic search algorithm that can be used to solve single-objective optimization problems.

One of the latest metaheuristic techniques is Bonobo Optimizer (BO). It has been published in the reputed Journal named Applied Intelligence (A. K. Das and D. K. Pratihar, "Bonobo optimizer (BO): an intelligent heuristic with self-adjusting parameters over continuous spaces and its applications to engineering problems," Applied Intelligence, pp 1-33, 2021. doi:https://doi.org/10.1007/s10489-021-02444-w).
Why to search for new ones, in this paper, according to theoretical and practical comparisons, there is not a big difference between different metaheuristics optimization algorithms. So, new algorithms not always help to obtain the best results.

This database contains the majority of nature-inspired methods (we've not included meta-heuristics that are not inspired by nature, as it is stated in the article): Article A comprehensive database of Nature-Inspired Algorithms
I'm trying to update it every some months, but I didn't have the time to do it yet for the last 3-4 months. And the rate of occurrence of new methods is very high (approx. 30-40 algorithms per month)...
The database contains also useful information about the algorithms, so it is useful in many ways. For example, if someone performs a survey on a specific area, they can focus on the algorithms that were initially applied on a specific problem, or they can focus on the algorithms that have applications within a specific area (e.g. OR, Engineering, etc.)
I believe that the following paper could be very useful in this case:
