Universal fitness dynamics through an adaptive resource utilization model
نویسنده
چکیده
The fitness of a species determines its abundance and survival in an ecosystem. At the same time, species take up resources for growth, so their abundance affects the availability of resources in an ecosystem. We show here that such species-resource coupling can be used to assign a quantitative metric for fitness to each species. This fitness metric also allows for the modeling of drift in species composition, and hence ecosystem evolution through speciation and adaptation. Our results provide a foundation for an entirely computational exploration of evolutionary ecosystem dynamics on any length or time scale. For example, we can evolve ecosystem dynamics even by initiating dynamics out of a single primordial ancestor and show that there exists a well defined ecosystem-averaged fitness dynamics that is resilient against resource shocks.

متن کاملZipf's law in city size from a resource utilization model.
We study a resource utilization scenario characterized by intrinsic fitness. To describe the growth and organization of different cities, we consider a model for resource utilization where many restaurants compete, as in a game, to attract customers using an iterative learning process. Results for the case of restaurants with uniform fitness are reported. When fitness is uniformly distributed, ...
متن کاملMultiple phase transitions in an agent-based evolutionary model with neutral fitness
Null models are crucial for understanding evolutionary processes such as speciation and adaptive radiation. We analyse an agent-based null model, considering a case without selection-neutral evolution-in which organisms are defined only by phenotype. Universal dynamics has previously been demonstrated in a related model on a neutral fitness landscape, showing that this system belongs to the dir...
