Bit-string model of biological speciation: revisited. (English) Zbl 07458593

Summary: Despite its relative simplicity, the bit-string model of biological speciation still has not been fully explored. In particular, emergence of two possible populations in the model: a population of the Darwinian purified genomes and a population distributed into distinct species, needs clarification. In this paper, an efficient implementation of the model is given. Rudimentary theoretical analysis of the model, supported by computer analysis of the transition between the two model populations developed on a square matrix with close boundary, prove the critical role of recombination in establishing Darwinian process of purification.
