We consider random walks in dynamic random environments, with an environment generated by the time-reversal of a Markov process from the oriented percolation universality class. If the influence of the random medium on the walk is small in space-time regions where the medium is typical, we obtain a law of large numbers and an averaged central limit theorem for the walk via a regeneration construction under suitable coarse-graining. Such random walks occur naturally as spatial embeddings of…

It is explained how an ancestral lineage can be interpreted as a random walk in a dynamic random environment and defined regeneration times allows to prove central limit theorems for such walks.

We consider a random walk on top of the contact process on \$\mathbb{Z}^d\$ with \$d\geq 1\$. In particular, we focus on the "contact process as seen from the random walk". Under the assumption that the
