Introduction
Individual-based modelling with complex behaviour, biofeedback and demography. A new way to study ecological processes in the sea.
Explore the emergent properties of comprehensive simulations so realistic that they can be mistaken for the real thing Compare the same features in virtual ecosystems and observations using the Ecological Turing test Follow the life histories of individual organisms from generation to generation, year after year | | Explain emergent properties of the virtual ecosystem in terms of the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry and biology Perform numerical experiments to discover how the ecosystem responds to external influences: climate, pollution, infection, alien species, fishing |
The Virtual Ecology Workbench makes this easy and fast by automating the creation and analysis of Virtual Ecosystems.
