Simulations with No Delta Benefit #90

Closed briandconnelly closed 9 years ago

briandconnelly commented 9 years ago

Run some simulations where the benefit of having any non-zero allele is removed. This will focus on the effect of the niche construction.

Initial Results. The 2x treatment indicates that the gamma benefit is doubled. The difficulty here is that in order to recoup the cost of cooperation, a large proportion of the population must construct the environment that selects for a given mutant.

There appears to be no difference between these treatments and the L=0 treatment, which highlights the importance of the external adaptations.
