The Paton individual-based model legacy.

Ray Paton oversaw the creation of a long lineage of Individual-based Models (IbMs) and this paper discusses the five most successful. All of these concern the development of adaptation, covering both evolutionary time and organism lifetime (somatic time). Of the five models discussed here, the first is based on a plant-herbivore model, the other four are based on a substrate-bacteria model, with the option of antibiotics.
