Recommendations

• Beyond optimal searching: recent developments in the modelling of animal movement patterns as Lévy walks
• Optimal foraging strategies: Lévy walks balance searching and patch exploitation under a very broad range of conditions
• Lévy or not? analysing positional data from animal movement paths
• Functional advantages of Lévy walks emerging near a critical point
• Ultimate failure of the Lévy foraging hypothesis: two-scale searching strategies outperform scale-free ones even when prey are scarce and cryptic
