Adaptive Lévy processes and area-restricted search in human foraging [PDF]
, 2013 A considerable amount of research has claimed that animals’ foraging behaviors display movement lengths with power-law distributed tails, characteristic of Lévy flights and Lévy walks.

On Optimal Tempered Lévy Flight Foraging
Frontiers in Physics, 2018 Optimal random foraging strategy has gained increasing concentrations. It is shown that Lévy flight is more efficient compared with the Brownian motion when the targets are sparse.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) visit Disko Bay, West Greenland in winter and early spring to feed on Calanus spp., at a time of year when the copepods are still mostly in diapause and concentrated in near-bottom patches.

Footprints of information foragers: Behaviour semantics of visual exploration [PDF]
, 2002 Social navigation exploits the knowledge and experience of peer users of information resources. A wide variety of visual–spatial approaches become increasingly popular as a means to optimize information access as well as to foster and sustain a virtual ...

Adaptive Bacterial Foraging Optimization
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2011 Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is a recently developed nature‐inspired optimization algorithm, which is based on the foraging behavior ofE. colibacteria. Up to now, BFO has been applied successfully to some engineering problems due to its simplicity and ease of implementation.

Insects, 2016 Resource concentration effects occur when high resource density patches attract and support more foragers than low density patches. In contrast, resource dilution effects can occur if high density patches support fewer consumers.

Sociobiology, 2021 Dinoponera lucida is a poneromorph ant endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species is classified as endangered in Brazil’s Red List due to its peculiar reproductive biology and high habitat fragmentation. Herein, we characterize D.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Recolonization of predators to their former ranges is becoming increasingly prevalent. Such recolonization places predators among their prey once again; the latter having lived without predation (from such predators) for a considerable time. This renewed
