3) Model "Evolution and competition for resources" [15min]
Section outline
-
With this model, we can study what happens when agents can reproduce and the behavior of agents has an impact on their reproductive success.
We can observe how evolutionary processes of variation, selection, reproduction, and inheritance affect the agent population and the sustainability of the social-ecological system.
The unit consists of one interactive video and links to additional materials.

This is a more abstract version of the previous model. The resource is not simulated by trees, but the patches have a certain amount of resources, where the amount of resources is represented by the patch color. The resource users can also be represented in different ways, e.g. as people, bacteria or dots.
