A hierarchy of locomotion costs shapes optimal foraging strategy

Thomas P. Ilett, Omer Yuval, Felix Salfelder, Robert I. Holbrook, David Hogg, Thomas Ranner, Netta Cohen

This study shows that Caenorhabditis elegans uses a hierarchical locomotion strategy to achieve optimal volumetric coverage in search tasks, with movement patterns shaped by a cost hierarchy and embodied constraints.
