PPT-PREDATOR/PREY CELLULAR AUTOMATA

Richard Peters ES 314 Sonoma State University Cellular Automata A cellular automaton is a collection of colored cells on a grid of specified shape that evolves through a number of discrete time steps according to a set of rules based on the states of neighboring cells The rules are then applied iteratively for as many time steps as desired. Community Ecology:. Antagonism (part 2).. Antagonisms: . Prey and predator are differently motivated:. Whereas the prey runs for its life, the predator runs for a meal.. Or, when the predator loses it misses a meal; when the prey is defeated, it loses its life.. Herbivory.

Cellular Automaton. A grid of cells where all the cells are governed by a common set of rules based on the number of adjacent neighbors..

Our simulation will consist of a game in which predators (students) with different size mouths (forceps) will compete to capture prey (beans) which vary in color. . There . are four predator phenotypes (different size and shaped forceps) and four prey phenotypes differing in color and size: white-large, brown-medium (+), black- medium (-), & tan-small)..
