Biologists long have sought quantitative models to describe the process of dispersal: to aid understanding, to guide experimentation, and to facilitate prediction. The most common such models are of the random walk type, deriving from the assumption that individuals move in a series of discrete steps with probabilities totally determined by positional information. Learning is ignored.
