Description of an ecological niche for a mixed local/nonlocal dispersal: An evolution equation and a new Neumann condition arising from the superposition of Brownian and Lévy processes (2021, background): “We also refer to the monograph [57] for a throughout presentation of the theory of random searches for foraging purposes.”
L\'evy walks (2014, methodology): “The maturity of the field is marked by several comprehensive monographs on the topic (Bénichou et al., 2011; Méndez et al., 2014; Viswanathan et al., 2011), and”
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments (2016, background): “…2012; Lauga and Powers, 2009; Poon, 2013) and allows for a more efficient exploration of the environment when looking for nutrients or running away from toxic substances (Viswanathan et al., 2011); a paradigmatic example is the swimming behavior of bacteria such as Escherichia coli (Berg, 2004).”
Universal proximity effect in target search kinetics in the few-encounter limit (2016, background): “Remarkably, despite the highly heterogeneous character of the motion of signaling molecules in the nucleus and cell cytoplasm [27–29] the overall signaling kinetics appears to be universally stable, thus allowing cellular operation at a remarkable precision [30].”
