Mutualism promotes diversity and stability in a simple artificial ecosystem.

Artificial life - 1 Jan 2002

Pachepsky Elizaveta, Taylor Tim, Jones Stephen

Abstract excerpt

This work investigates the effect of ecological interactions between organisms on the evolutionary dynamics of a community. A spatially explicit, individual-based model is presented, in which organisms compete for space and resources. We investigated how introducing the potential for mutualistic relationships (where the presence of one type of organism stimulates the growth of another type, and vice versa)...
