Abstract: | The work presents a short history of development of evolutionary methods in the St. Petersburg school of computer simulation
of biological processes. Several moments confirm priority of this school in modeling of micro- and macroevolutionary processes.
A peculiarity of the school is a combination of the applied and theoretical study, penetration into the biological essence
of phenomenon, consideration of real interrelationships of ecological and physiological parameters. The natural tendency for
transition to modeling at the level of single individuals and then-to imitation of evolutionary processes on computer is traced.
Paradoxically, such detalization sometimes does not worsen, but improves prognostic properties of models of populations, communities,
and ecosystems, and besides, makes unnecessary monitoring of some variable characteristics, because the individual-based approach
allows to direct account for adaptive processes and hidden evolutionary relationships between the life history parameters.
Problems and perspectives of development of evolutionary methods of modeling are analyzed. |
