Beyond optimal searching: Recent developments in the modelling of animal movement patterns as Levy walks.- Part II: From Individuals to Populations.- 4. The mathematical analysis of biological aggregation and dispersal: progress, problems and perspectives.- 5. Hybrid modelling of individual movement and collective behaviour.- 6. From individual movement rules to population level patterns: the case of central-place foragers.- 7. Transport and anisotropic diffusion models for movement in oriented habitats.- 8. Incorporating complex foraging of zooplankton in models: role of micro- and mesoscale processes in macroscale patterns.- Part III: Populations, Communities and Ecosystems.- 9. Life on the move: modeling the effects of climate-driven range shifts with integrodifference equations.- 10. Control of competitive bioinvasion.- 11. Destruction and diversity: effects of habitat loss on ecological communities.- 12.
