Recommendations

• Beyond optimal searching: recent developments in the modelling of animal movement patterns as Lévy walks
• Path integration mediated systematic search: a Bayesian model
• Optimal foraging strategies: Lévy walks balance searching and patch exploitation under a very broad range of conditions
• Lévy flights search patterns of biological organisms
• Improvements in the statistical approach to random Lévy flight searches
