Effect of Migration Cost and Lethality on Pathogen Spread
This simulation focuses specifically on the balance between human populations
and pathogen populations, an aspect of ecological security. The more general
framework of ecological security can also be seen in this model. The balance
between natural systems (blue), otherspecies (green), humans (yellow) and
pathogens (red) is a central focus of ecological security. By varying the cost
of migration one can see that the capacity to migrate effects
otherspecies(causing the population size to decrease) as well as the rate of
pathogen spread. In this simulation each colored square (besides blue)
represents a population of agents, not a single agent and the lighter the shade,
the greater the population size of the group.
