- INTRODUCTION
REvoSim is an evolutionary model that aims to bridge the epistemological gap between micro- and macro-evolution; by providing an organism-level simulation of sufficient computational efficiency that population sizes of 105-106 individuals can be studied over geological timescales. The model also incorporates concepts of spatial relationships, spatial and temporal environmental variation, and recombinant reproduction. Isolation of gene-pools (i.e. speciation) is not enforced, but emerges naturally from simulations under appropriate conditions. We intend REvoSim as a multipurpose platform for the study of many evolutionary phenomena; while it was designed with macro-evolutionary studies in mind, it is also applicable to micro-evolutionary problems.
- INSTALLATION
