Lévy walk patterns in the foraging movements of spider monkeys ( Ateles geoffroyi )
Gabriel Ramos-Fernández,José L. Mateos,Octavio Miramontes,Germinal Cocho,Hernán Larralde,Bárbara Ayala-Orozco +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the foraging patterns of free-ranging spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in the forest of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico and find that these patterns closely resemble what physicists know as Levy walks.

Levy walk patterns in the foraging movements of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Gabriel Ramos-Fernández,José L. Mateos,Octavio Miramontes,Germinal Cocho,Hernán Larralde,Bárbara Ayala-Orozco +5 more
TL;DR: The foraging patterns of free-ranging spider monkeys in the forest of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico are described and it is found that these patterns closely resemble what physicists know as Lévy walks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scale-free foraging by primates emerges from their interaction with a complex environment.
Denis Boyer,Gabriel Ramos-Fernández,Octavio Miramontes,José L. Mateos,Germinal Cocho,Hernán Larralde,Humberto Ramos,Fernando Rojas +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a simple foraging model where individual primates follow mental maps and choose their displacements according to a maximum efficiency criterion, in a spatially disordered environment containing many trees with a heterogeneous size distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the searching behavior of social monkeys
TL;DR: A simple model of deterministic walk in a random environment reproduces the observed angular correlations between successive steps, and in some cases, the emergence of Levy distributions for the length of the steps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Universality of rank-ordering distributions in the arts and sciences.
Gustavo Martínez-Mekler,Roberto Alvarez Martínez,Manuel Beltrán del Río,Ricardo Mansilla,Pedro Miramontes,Germinal Cocho +5 more
TL;DR: A universal behavior of the way in which elements of a system are distributed according to their rank with respect to a given property is uncovered, valid for the full range of values, regardless of whether or not a power law has previously been suggested.
