11 Open questions: Temperature a factor? Natural rugosity of the surface a factor? In nature these relationships not all that relevant? Useful to reduce to mean? Differences/mechanisms more interesting?

12 How to characterize paths? Messor wasmanni Frizzi 2018, Ins. Soc.

13 Straightness

14 How squiggly? Tortuosity Frizzi 2018, Ins. Soc.

15 Fractal Dimension Intensity of Habitat Use Frizzi 2018, Ins. Soc.

16 MSD (cm 2 ) How dispersive? Mean Squared Displacement = (x x 0 ) y = x r.m.s. = x 2 x 0 2 (x x 0 ) time (s)

17 Indices Summary Straightness Sinuosity Intensity of Habitat Use Fractal Dimension Mean Squared Displacement Root Mean Squared Displacement Only if goal is present Depends on sample size Biological significance? Reason to assume? Population Dispersivity Individual Depends on type of question, organism, environment. Hard to objectively pick a priori

67 Optimality If food farther away from perception range than just outside, Lévy becomes worse. If memory, sampling, differential search horizon present, Lévy becomes worse.

68 How do Lévy Flights come about?

69 What is scaling? (1) Quantify how characteristics of the system change (or don t change!) with changes in the fundamental dimensions (2) Characterize scaling function (pattern!) (3) Why such a function? -> theory Working hypothesis.... Inmost cases a scaling function will point tothe operation of general laws/principles.
