Crittersim

Natural selection simulation. Plants and animals (insects) go through generations according to parameters entered by the user. Pesticide and herbicide applications can be made, though resistance is not simulated. New species with characteristics like metabolism rate, density, and chance of procreation can be created. Good for understanding population effects. Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Simulation is not available for Windows.
