我们介绍了Cricketsim，这是一个基于个体的物种和群落动态模拟器，它允许实验者操纵遗传和进化参数以及影响模拟环境及其栖息者的参数。该模拟器能够对物种的基因型和表型特征（例如雄性信号和雌性偏好）以及人口统计学和与适应性相关的特征进行建模。这个基于个体的模拟器创建了一个网格（细胞）世界，在这个世界中，雄性和雌性通过移动、发出信号/做出反应以及交配来相互作用。在模拟时间内，一个或多个物种随着其个体在一生中与其他个体相互作用而进化，可能通过成功交配产生新的后代。文中描述了该程序的设计、参数、执行和数据收集，展示了一个示例实验，并讨论了若干应用。
We present cricketsim, an individual-based simulator of species and community dynamics that allows experimenters to manipulate genetic and evolutionary parameters as well as parameters affecting the simulated environment and its inhabitants. The simulator can model genotypic and phenotypic features of species, such as male signals and female preferences, as well as demographic and fitness-related features. The individual-based simulator creates a lattice (cellular) world in which males and females interact by moving, signaling/responding, and mating. One or more species evolves over simulation time as individuals of a species interact with others during its lifetime, possibly creating new offspring through successful mating. The program's design, parameters, execution and data collection are described, an example experiment is presented, and several applications are discussed.
