Human-Plant Coevolution (HPC) model
General exploration and parameter sensitivity analysis

2022-06-27

Model overview

The Human-Plant Coevolution (HPC) model represents the dynamics of coevolution between a human and a plant population.

The model consists of an ecological positive feedback system (mutualism), which can be reinforced by positive evolutionary feedback (coevolution).

The model is the result of wiring together relatively simple simulation models of population ecology and evolution, through a computational implementation in R.
