Simulate genetic drift and selective pressure.
ECOSIM provides a computational environment to model population dynamics, camouflage efficiency, and the impact of catastrophic bottleneck events.
Genetic Telemetry
Real-time DataMonitor allele frequency shifts and phenotypic distribution as agents interact with the environment in real-time.
Selective Pressure
Environment ControlAdjust environmental parameters to observe how camouflage efficiency dictates survival rates under predation.
Bottleneck Analysis
Catastrophe LogicSimulate flood events to analyze how population crashes reshape the genetic landscape of the surviving species.
Simulate natural selection and genetic drift
Explore how camouflage, predation, and catastrophic events shape population genetics through interactive simulations.
Lacks the dynamic variables required to model complex evolutionary pressures.
Ignores selective pressure
Fails to account for how predator efficiency shifts based on prey camouflage.
Static environment models
Lacks the ability to simulate how changing terrain colors impacts survival.
No catastrophic events
Cannot model bottleneck effects or sudden population crashes like floods.
Lacks genetic telemetry
Does not track allele frequency changes across generations or events.
Interactive bio-computational environment for testing genetic drift and selection.
Prey Simulation
Observe 10 predators hunting prey with variable camouflage efficiency.
Mutation Control
Introduce random color mutations to track phenotypic lineage drift.
Environment Shift
Modify terrain color to test how camouflage dictates survival rates.
Bottleneck Event
Trigger a flood to cull 80% of prey and observe repopulation dynamics.
Allele Frequency Data
Real-time graphs tracking phenotypic shifts before and after bottlenecks.
Predator Efficiency
Adjust hunting parameters to see how camouflage impacts predation.
Population Telemetry
Monitor reproduction and mortality rates in a controlled environment.
