This model introduces the concept of resource use efficiency into the evolution of resource use behavior.
NetLogo: Evolution of resource use with harvest efficiency Read More »
This NetLogo model lets students explore how competition for resources can affect the evolution of a population and can result in resource overuse. This model is similar to the Evolution and competition for forest resources model, but more abstract.

This NetLogo model builds on the model of Two Foresters. In this model, agents reproduce based on the amount of resources that they harvest.
