Modelling survival and allele complementation in the evolution of genomes with polymorphic loci

S. Cebrat, D. Stauffer, J. S. Sa Martins +2

We have simulated the evolution of sexually reproducing populations composed of individuals represented by diploid genomes. A series of eight bits formed an allele occupying one of…

Simulated self-organisation of death by inherited mutations

J. S. Sa Martins, D. Stauffer, P. M. C. de Oliveira +1

An agent-based computer simulation of death by inheritable mutations in a changing environment shows a maximal population, or avoids extinction, at so intermediate mutation rate of…

Does Sex Induce a Phase Transition?

P. M. C. de Oliveira, S. Moss de Oliveira, D. Stauffer +2

We discovered a dynamic phase transition induced by sexual reproduction. The dynamics is a pure Darwinian rule with both fundamental ingredients to drive evolution: 1) random mutat…

A computer simulation of language families

Paulo Murilo Castro de Oliveira, Dietrich Stauffer, Soeren Wichmann +1

This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations of language populations and the development of language families, showing how a simple model can lead to distributions similar to the on…

Child mortality in Penna ageing model

D. Stauffer, S. Moss de Oliveira

Assuming the deleterious mutations in the Penna ageing model to affect mainly the young ages, we get an enhanced mortality at very young age, followed by a minimum of the mortality…

Computer simulations on the sympatric speciation modes for the Midas cichlid species complex

K. Luz-Burgoa, S. Moss de Oliveira, J. S. Sa Martins

Cichlid fishes are one of the best model system for the study of evolution of the species. Inspired by them, in this paper we simulated the splitting of a single species into two s…
