a A difference in fertility rather than in competitive skills characterizes simulation E. The selective advantage of the black mutant occurs because it produces four offspring, in contrast to the two produced by gray. In this case, an extra round of competition will be necessary to determine the ten survivors for the next generation. b This simulation explores the colonization of a new environment (simulation F). The population size increases with time (generations). Once the population reaches the carrying capacity, the competition events begin. The competing pairs should be arranged as previously mentioned
