Abstract

The previous sections have described some of the basic applications of evolutionary computation techniques to various aspects of ecological modelling. Although there are many areas that have not been given adequate attention, it is clear that the use of difference and differential equations, the modelling of cooperation and community structure, the use of space and spatial behavior and the construction of hierarchical organization are areas where evolutionary computation techniques match well with ecological modelling. Models from large-scale behavior of communities, through to the way in which genetic material evolves in a species, can be studied using these types of models. The future is extremely positive for these evolutionary techniques to support and extend the current understanding of ecological processes and functions.
