Computer simulation of sympatric speciation with Penna ageing model

One species is simulated to split into two separate species via random mutations, even if both populations live together in the same environment. This speciation is achieved in the Penna bitstring model of biological ageing, with modified Verhulst factors, and in part by additional bitstrings regula...

Description
Summary:One species is simulated to split into two separate species via random mutations, even if both populations live together in the same environment. This speciation is achieved in the Penna bitstring model of biological ageing, with modified Verhulst factors, and in part by additional bitstrings regulating phenotype and mate selection.
