Abstract

Description

Edwards et al. [Nature 449, 1044-1048 (2007)] revisited well-known studies reporting power-laws in the frequency distribution of flight duration of wandering albatrosses, and concluded that no Lévy process could model recent observations with higher resolution. Here we show that this re-analysis suffers from a conceptual misunderstanding, and that the new albatross data remain consistent with a biological Lévy flight.
