Unified “micro”- and “macro-” evolution of eco-systems: self-organization of a dynamic network

Very recently we developed a dynamic network model for eco-systems that achieved “unification” of “micro” and “macro”-evolution. We now propose an extension of our model so as to stabilize the eco-system and describe speciation in a more realistic manner.
