Bisler, A.A.Bisler2022-03-102022-03-102005https://publica.fraunhofer.de/handle/publica/347613Flowers need insects for their pollination and insects rely on the nectar and the pollen as a food resource. But instead of visiting all flowers, the insects limit their visits to a small number. This paper presents a simulation of the behavior of the insects which results in a specialized perception of blossom colors and fragrances by the insects. A coevolution can be observed only based on simple interactions modified over generations by a genetic algorithm. The results show a mutual benefit expressed in more rewards for the insects and more efficient pollination of the flowers.enArtificial Lifemulti-agent systemevolutionary algorithmsbehavior modeling006Simulation of the coevolution of insects and flowersconference paper
