Results from our forumConditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... and increase time between births. -Prevent kin-mating -Less predators, better pathing. Think pac-man. But prioritize targeting according to an herbivores relative distance from other herbivores (ie the outlier - the straggler). You might not want a predator to be able to bee-line across the ...

Re: dog and wolf... now points in the direction of wolves being the ancestors. Other odd wolf/dog differences. 1.) Dogs have longer intestines than wolves. Generally, herbivores and omnivores have longer intestines than pure predaters, because it takes more processing to make a piece of a tree into a piece of you ...

What is the primary energy source for cells?... being the major producers and their ability to absorb the radiant energy from the sun. As plants are eaten by the consumers (primary consumers or herbivores definitely), this energy undergo transformation becoming a form chemical energy and thus be subjected again to series of metabolic reactions ...

Conditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... of offspring). That's important. Plant lifecycle may be shorter, but it's capable of producing many many more offspring if conditions are right. Herbivores and predators may only produce a couple of offspring in a lifetime. What you're trying to do is incredibly complicated. I'd recommend trying ...

Re: Conditions for a stable ecosystem?... populations go extinct. Thing to incorporate (depending on how complex a model you want) - Growth rate - Maybe the recovery rate of the plants / herbivores is not fast enough? Preditor-prey cycles don't usually mean extinction because while the preditor numbers are reduced, the prey has time ...
