Ecological and mutation-order speciation in digital organisms.

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive isolation between populations often evolves as a by-product of independent adaptation to new environments, but the selective pressures of these environments may be divergent ("ecological speciation" or uniform ("mutation-order speciation." In this study, we use an artificial life platform to directly compare the strength of reproductive isolation (specifically, postzygotic) generated by ecological...
