Interest in L évy walks within the context of movement of organisms has recently soared, with
some now referring to this approach as the L évy walk/flight paradigm. The principal …

There is now compelling evidence that many organisms have movement patterns that can
be described as Lévy walks, or Lévy flights. Lévy movement patterns have been identified in …

Individual swimming bacteria are known to bias their random trajectories in search of food
and to optimize survival. The motion of bacteria within a swarm, wherein they migrate as a …

When searching for food, many organisms adopt a superdiffusive, scale-free movement
pattern called a Lévy walk, which is considered optimal when foraging for heterogeneously …

Numerous neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders are associated with deficits in
executive functions such as working memory and cognitive flexibility. Progress in developing …

ABSTRACT Lévy walks are a mathematical construction useful for describing random
patterns of movement with bizarre fractal properties that seem to have no place in biology …

The hypothesis that the optimal search strategy is a Lévy walk (LW) or Lévy flight, originally
suggested in 1995, has generated an explosion of interest and controversy. Long-standing …

We study through a reaction-diffusion algorithm the influence of landscape diversity on the
efficiency of search dynamics. Remarkably, the identical optimal search strategy arises in a …

Flowers emit mixtures of scents that mediate plant-insect interactions such as attracting
insect pollinators. Because of their volatile nature, however, floral scents readily react with …

A first step in the analysis of complex movement data often involves discretisation of the path
into a series of step‐lengths and turns, for example in the analysis of specialised random …
