EVOLUTION OF SPATIALLY INHOMOGENEOUS ECOSYSTEMS: AN UNIFIED MODEL BASED APPROACH

Recently, we have extended our "unified" model of evolutionary ecology to incorporate the spatial inhomogeneities of the ecosystem and the migration of individual organisms from one patch to another within the same ecosystem. In this paper, an extension of our recent model is investigated so as to describe the migration and speciation in a more realistic way.
