The Avida Digital Evolution<\/a> Platform is an open-source artificial life<\/a> system that has been used to conduct a wide range of studies on evolutionary dynamics <\/span>. In Avida, self-replicating computer programs compete for space on a lattice of cells. When an organism reproduces, its offspring is placed in a nearby cell (or in a random cell if the population is well-mixed), replacing any previous occupant of that cell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
