Natural Selection of Interaction Structures in Communities with Many Populations

Abstract

I now expand to communities of many populations the method of examining community interaction structure selection and evolution begun in Chapter 9. Required is the abstract view of system used in the previous chapter:

$$ {\text{System = }}\left\langle \begin{gathered} populations{\text{ }} \hfill \\ and{\text{ direct , environment, }}_{{{\text{operator}}}}^{{ \circ ,{\text{ the followed - by}}}}{\text{ }} \hfill \\ effects\left( { + ,0, - } \right){\text{ }} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right\rangle {\text{.}} $$
