StarLogo Simulations
StarLogo is a simulation building tool that is designed especially for
modeling decentralized systems. It provides a framework in which agent-based
simulations can be created and investigated. It is used as both an educational
tool and as a tool for academic research. You can read about it and download a
free copy of StarLogo at the StarLogo website. StarLogo is a
useful tool for exploring the evolution of behavioral adaptations to social
environments.
Interactive Simulations on the Web
Evolution of Cooperation in Groups with Movement Rules
Watch multilevel selection in action with this simulation
of the evolution of cooperation in groups. Agents leave
uncooperative groups, often budding off to form new groups.
Evolution of Cooperation in Dyads with Movement Rules
Examine the conditions that favor the evolution of cooperation in dyads in this
model involving contingent
movement rules, and read the paper based on it in The Journal of
Theoretical Biology, 231(2) 249-260.
Game Theory and Costly SignalingView an interactive game
theory simulation based on a model of three different male strategies for
attracting mates.
Migration of Infected AgentsInvestigate the effects of migration
cost and pathogen lethality on the spread of pathogens throughout a population
of humans in a simulation
of pathogen spread . |
