Abstract

In this paper, we propose a model of biological differentiation based on physical features and behavioral strategies in order to probe the mysteries of biological differentiation. We, then, implement the model, and perform the Alife simulations of birds' evolution in an artificial ecology. The ecology consists of two islands, and the atmospheric temperature in each of the islands fluctuates periodically. As a result of the simulations, we have observed that birds, adapting themselves to a change of temperature in their habitat, branch off in two types of biology: migratory bird and resident bird.
