Explore stickleback evolution using a computer model
Use the stickleback evolution model to explore the changes in stickleback lateral plate morphs (LPM) in a simulated stickleback population over time.
Set up the model. Keep everything as default. Run the model for 30 years.
Check the chart Change in Phenotype Percentage and the total # of fish
Repeat steps 1-2 with Predator type = predatory fish and then predatory insects.
Repeat steps 1-3 with mutation checked. In what situations do you observe changes in stickleback LPMs over time?
Feel free to explore other factors. Click the Model Info bar to learn about the model rules if needed.
