Computational Methods for Tracking, Quantitative Assessment, and Visualization of C. elegans Locomotory Behavior. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans provides a unique opportunity to interrogate the neural basis of behavior at single neuron resolution. In C. elegans, neural circuits that control behaviors can be formulated based on its complete neural connection map,

Enhancement of stability of metastable states in the presence of Lévy noise

open access: yesSciPost Physics
The barrier-crossing event for superdiffusion characterized by symmetric Lévy flights is analyzed. Starting from the fractional Fokker-Planck equation, we derive an integro-differential equation along with the necessary conditions to calculate the mean ...

Brain-localized CD4 and CD8 T cells perform correlated random walks and not Levy walks [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2023
Background. For survival of the organism, T cells must efficiently control pathogens invading different peripheral tissues. Whether or not such control is achieved by utilizing different movement strategies in different tissues remains poorly understood.

Weak localization of light in superdiffusive random systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
L\'evy flights constitute a broad class of random walks that occur in many fields of research, from animal foraging in biology, to economy to geophysics.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Levy Flights in Metaheuristics Optimization Algorithms – A Review

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 2018
In recent years, Levy flight (LF) is increasingly being employed as search mechanism in metaheuristics optimization algorithms (MOA) to solve complex real world problems.

Analytical Investigations into Anomalous Diffusion Driven by Stress Redistribution Events: Consequences of Lévy Flights

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
This research is concerned with developing a generalised diffusion equation capable of describing diffusion processes driven by underlying stress-redistributing type events.

Nature-inspired Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Side Lobe Suppression in a Symmetric Linear Antenna Array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we proposed a newly modified cuckoo search (MCS) algorithm integrated with the Roulette wheel selection operator and the inertia weight controlling the search ability towards synthesizing symmetric linear array geometry with minimum side ...

Characterizing Human Mobility Patterns in a Large Street Network

open access: yes, 2009
Previous studies demonstrated empirically that human mobility exhibits Levy flight behaviour. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing this Levy flight behaviour remains limited.
