SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENT OF EXTINCTION OR ADAPTATION OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIES AFTER TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Abstract
Can unicellular organisms survive a drastic temperature change, and adapt to it after many generations? In simulations of the Penna model of biological aging, both extinction and adaptation were found for asexual and sexual reproduction as well as for parasex. These model investigations are the basis for the design of evolution experiments with heterotrophic flagellates.
