The topography of the environment alters the optimal search strategy for active particles
In environments with scarce resources, adopting the right search strategy can make the
difference between succeeding and failing, even between life and death. At different scales …

Variation in individual walking behavior creates the impression of a Lévy flight
S Petrovskii, A Mashanova… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Many animal paths have an intricate statistical pattern that manifests itself as a power law-
like tail in the distribution of movement lengths. Such distributions occur if individuals move …

Crowding, diffusion, and biochemical reactions
M Weiss - International review of cell and molecular biology, 2014 - Elsevier
Diffusion is the basic mode of transport for molecules in living cells. Diffusion leads to
dispersion of individual molecules, but it is also the driving force behind biochemical …

[HTML][HTML] Parallel multimodal circuits control an innate foraging behavior
Foraging strategies emerge from genetically encoded programs that are similar across
animal species. Here, we examine circuits that control a conserved foraging state, local …

Stepping molecular motor amid Lévy white noise
We consider a model of a stepping molecular motor consisting of two connected heads.
Directional motion of the stepper takes place along a one-dimensional track. Each head is …

High activity and Lévy searches: jellyfish can search the water column like fish
Over-fishing may lead to a decrease in fish abundance and a proliferation of jellyfish. Active
movements and prey search might be thought to provide a competitive advantage for fish …
