Emergence of polymorphic mating strategies in robot colonies.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Elfwing Stefan, Doya Kenji

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphism has fascinated evolutionary biologists since the time of Darwin. Biologists have observed discrete alternative mating strategies in many different species. In this study, we demonstrate that polymorphic mating strategies can emerge in a colony of hermaphrodite robots. We used a survi...
