• Turn designation, sampling rate and the misidentification of power laws in movement path data using maximum likelihood estimates (2011, background): “Note that in a similar manner to Plank and Codling (2009), we do not explicitly simulate food patches (although this can be done and generates similar paths, see Benhamou 2007a, b). At each stage of the CCRW, there is a fixed probability of changing phase from extensive to intensive or vice versa ”
• Random walk models in biology (2008, background): “Such a process is known as a Lévy walk and has been extensively studied by physicists and more recently ecologists ( Viswanathan et al. 1996) although its general applicability to animal movement is still open to debate (Benhamou 2007; Edwards et al. 2007).”
• Animal movements in heterogeneous landscapes: identifying profitable places and homogeneous movement bouts. (2008, background): “To date, most actual animal paths have been better modeled as mixtures of CRW or BCRW, which may look superficially fractal, than as truly scale-free walks, such as fractional Brownian motion or Lévy walks (Turchin 1996, Benhamou 2004, 2007, Morales et al. 2004, Edwards et al. 2007).”
• New Insights into Pelagic Migrations: Implications for Ecology and Conservation (2012, background): “…that Lévy flights have been misidentified in many of the foundational papers (Edwards 2008, 2011; Edwards et al. 2007); and that alternative models, especially composite CRWs, cannot be distinguished from Lévy flights in real data (Auger-Méthé et al. 2011, Benhamou 2007, Plank & Codling 2009).”
• Bootstrapping bilinear models of Simple Vehicles (2015, background): “These random processes are thought to describe the behavior of foraging animals (Benhamou, 2008).”
• Unpacking the Exploration–Exploitation Tradeoff: A Synthesis of Human and Animal Literatures (2015, background): “The prevalence and adaptive performance of both mechanisms is under debate (Benhamou, 2007; Hills et al., 2013; Humphries & Sims, 2014).”
• Intermittent search strategies (2011, background): “On the other hand, patterns and processes should not confused, as underlined by Benhamou (2007).”
