Area‐restricted search is the capacity to change search effort adaptively in response to
resource encounters or expectations, from directional exploration (global, extensive search) …

Visual search (VS) is a fundamental task in daily life widely studied for over half a century. A
variant of the classic paradigm—searching one target among distractors—requires the …

Understanding the structural complexity and the main drivers of animal search behaviour is
pivotal to foraging ecology. Yet, the role of uncertainty as a generative mechanism of …

Metastatic cancer cells differ from their non-metastatic counterparts not only in terms of
molecular composition and genetics, but also by the very strategy they employ for …

We study through a reaction-diffusion algorithm the influence of landscape diversity on the
efficiency of search dynamics. Remarkably, the identical optimal search strategy arises in a …

Efficient searching for resources such as food by animals is key to their survival. It has been
proposed that diverse animals from insects to sharks and humans adopt searching patterns …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are important factors determining animal population
dynamics and spatial distribution. Such landscape changes can lead to the deleterious …

Lévy flight is a type of random walk that characterizes the behaviour of many natural
phenomena studied across a multiplicity of academic disciplines; within biology specifically …

Water is a scarce resource in semi-arid savannas where over half of the African elephants
(Loxodonta africana) populations occur and may therefore influence their movement pattern …

A special class of random walks, so-called Lévy walks, has been observed in a variety of
organisms ranging from cells, insects, fishes, and birds to mammals, including humans …
