The evolutionary maintenance of Lévy flight foraging

2021-09-30

Abstract excerpt

Lévy flight is a type of random walk that models the behaviour of many phenomena across a multiplicity of academic disciplines; within biology specifically, the behaviour of fish, birds, insects, mollusks, bacteria, plants, slime molds, t-cells, and human populations. The Lévy flight foraging hypothesis states that because Lévy flights can maximize an organism’s search efficiency, natural selection should result i...
