Oral Presentation Ecology Plenary

Speaker

Alex James (University of Canterbury)

Description

Lévy walks have dominated foraging theory since they were brought to our attention in the mid-nineties. However the path to enlightenment has not been smooth. I will take you on a brief history of Lévy foraging theory that has played out in the published literature. Are they the solution to finding your keys or an ecological version of the quaternion?
