Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and the functional loss of long‐distance seed‐dispersal services (2018, unknown): “For instance, recent critics of Lévy walk models (Pyke 2015) argued for its potential value when implementing individual-based models of movement in terms of both theory and observations, especially in relation to distribution, dispersal and other population-level phenomena.”
Air pollutants degrade floral scents and increase insect foraging times (2016, methodology): “Despite recent criticism regarding the optimality of Lévy walks as a foraging strategy 179 (Pyke, 2015), the approach is still useful as an idealized model to investigate the effects of 180 environmental characteristics on insect foraging.”
