• Bee-inspired foraging in an embodied swarm (2011, unknown): “Leaving the hive, the foraging robots start exploring the environment using a movement pattern defined by a Lévy distribution [9].”
• The Broken Past: Fractals in Archaeology (2005, background): “The Lévy flight patterns of foragers have assumed importance because it has been shown recently that Lévy flights with a negative squared exponent are the optimal search pattern for random foraging searches in certain environments (da Luz et al., 2001; Viswanathan et al., 2000, 2001, 1999, 2002).”
• Understanding movements of organisms: it's time to abandon the Lévy foraging hypothesis (2015, background): “…spatial distributions of resources (Preston, Pitchford & Wood 2010), resource renewal (Raposo et al. 2003; Santos et al. 2004), moving targets (Bartumeus et al. 2002; Viswanathan et al. 2002), variation in perceptive ability (Reynolds 2006) and memory effects (Gautestad 2011; Ferreira et al. 2012).”
