Simulated emergence of cyclic sexual-asexual reproduction
Motivated by the cyclic pattern of reproductive regimes observed in some species of green flies (" aphids "), we simulate the evolution of a population enduring harsh seasonal conditions for survival. The reproductive regime of each female is also seasonal in principle and genetically acquired, and can mutate for each newborn with some small probability. The results show a sharp transition at a...
متن کاملEmergence of Autonomous Behaviors of Virtual Characters through Simulated Reproduction
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous behaviors of virtual characters. We postulate that a behavior is regarded as autonomous when the actions performed by the agent result from the interaction between its internal dynamics and the environment, rather than being externally controlled. In this work, we argue that an autonomous behavior is an agent’s solution to a given problem, which is...
متن کاملEmergence of species in evolutionary "simulated annealing".
Which factors govern the evolution of mutation rates and emergence of species? Here, we address this question by using a first principles model of life where population dynamics of asexual organisms is coupled to molecular properties and interactions of proteins encoded in their genomes. Simulating evolution of populations, we found that fitness increases in punctuated steps via epistatic event...
متن کاملCyclic dynamics in simulated plant populations.
Despite the general interest in nonlinear dynamics in animal populations, plant populations are supposed to show a stable equilibrium that is attributed to fundamental differences compared with animals. Some studies find more complex dynamics, but empirical studies usually are too short and most modelling studies ignore important spatial aspects of local competition and establishment. Therefore...
متن کاملGrowth or Reproduction: Emergence of an Evolutionary Optimal Strategy
Modern ecology has re-emphasized the need for a quantitative understanding of the original ’survival of the fittest theme’ based on analyzis of the intricate trade-offs between competing evolutionary strategies that characterize the evolution of life. This is key to the understanding of species coexistence and ecosystem diversity under the omnipresent constraint of limited resources. In this wo...
