Recommendations

• Optimal foraging strategies: Lévy walks balance searching and patch exploitation under a very broad range of conditions
• Functional advantages of Lévy walks emerging near a critical point
• Selection pressures give composite correlated random walks Lévy walk characteristics
• Extending Lévy search theory from one to higher dimensions: Lévy walking favours the blind
• Scale-free animal movement patterns: Lévy walks outperform fractional Brownian motions and fractional Lévy motions in random search scenarios
