Distinguishing technology from biology: a critical review of the use of GPS telemetry data in ecology (2010, background): “…datasets, come increased statistical headaches such as the quantification of GPS bias (Frair et al. 2010), appropriate statistical modelling of highly correlated data (Fieberg et al. 2010) and debates over the appropriate movement modelling approaches (Bartumeus et al. 2002; Smouse et al. 2010).”
ANIMAL SEARCH STRATEGIES: A QUANTITATIVE RANDOM‐WALK ANALYSIS (2005, background): “…so as to optimize their chances of locating resources by increasing ‘‘the chances of covering certain regions,’’ and thus, different optimal solutions arise by merely embracing different random strategies (Viswanathan et al. 1999, Bartumeus et al. 2002a, b, Raposo et al. 2003, Santos et al. 2004).”
Understanding movements of organisms: it's time to abandon the Lévy foraging hypothesis (2015, background): “…to the point that the overall rate of encounter with targets was maximized, and this was then considered to be the optimal search strategy for the organism, and therefore the one that the organism should theoretically adopt (Viswanathan et al. 1999; Bartumeus et al. 2002; Ferreira et al. 2012).”
