Random searchers cope with cognitive errors and uncertainty better than path planners

2020-08-07

Abstract excerpt

There is a widespread belief in ecology that the capacity of animals to orchestrate systematic and planned paths should represent a significant benefit for efficient search and exploration. Within this view, stochasticity observed in real animal trajectories is mostly understood as undesirable noise caused by internal or external effects. Far less is known, however, about the case when cognitive errors and limitat...
