With the influx of complex and detailed tracking data gathered from electronic tracking
devices, the analysis of animal movement data has recently emerged as a cottage industry …

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 …

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 …

It is an open question how animals find food in dynamic natural environments where they
possess little or no knowledge of where resources are located. Foraging theory predicts that …

Understanding foraging is important in ecology, as it determines the energy gains and,
ultimately, the fitness of animals. However, monitoring prey captures of individual animals is …

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 …

The route and speed of migration into Sahul by Homo sapiens remain a major research
question in archaeology. Here, we introduce an approach which models the impact of the …

With recent technological advances in tracking devices, movements of numerous animal
species can be recorded with a high resolution over large spatial and temporal ranges. This …

Highly pelagic large marine vertebrates have evolved the capability of moving across large
expanses of the marine environment; some species routinely move across entire ocean …

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 …
