Sex and Coevolution
It has been suggested that the fundamental haploid-diploid cycle of eukaryotic sex exploits a rudimentary form of the Baldwin effect. This paper uses the well-known NKCS model to explore the effects of coevolution upon the behaviour of eukaryotes. It is shown how varying fitness landscape size, ruggedness and connectedness can vary the conditions under which eukaryotic sex proves beneficial over asexual reproduction in haploids in a coevolutionary context. Moreover, eukaryotic sex is shown to be more sensitive to the relative rate of evolution exhibited by its partnering species than asexual haploids.

Coevolutionary patterns caused by prey selection
Many theoretical models have been formulated to better understand the coevolutionary patterns that emerge from antagonistic interactions. These models usually assume that the attacks by the exploiters are random, so the …
New Pathways in Coevolutionary Computation
The simultaneous evolution of two or more species with coupled fitness -- coevolution -- has been put to good use in the field of evolutionary computation. Herein, we present two new forms of coevolutionary algorithms, w…
Analyzing coevolutionary games with dynamic fitness landscapes
Coevolutionary games cast players that may change their strategies as well as their networks of interaction. In this paper a framework is introduced for describing coevolutionary game dynamics by landscape models. It is …
Dynamic landscape models of coevolutionary games
Players of coevolutionary games may update not only their strategies but also their networks of interaction. Based on interpreting the payoff of players as fitness, dynamic landscape models are proposed. The modeling pro…
Novelty Search in Competitive Coevolution
One of the main motivations for the use of competitive coevolution systems is their ability to capitalise on arms races between competing species to evolve increasingly sophisticated solutions. Such arms races can, howev…
