NetLogo-Modelle

Die Themen Evolution und Nachhaltigkeit sind mit mehreren Lernschwierigkeiten verbunden, denn sie sind das Ergebnis komplexer Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Organismen und ihrer Umwelt, und evolutionär-ökologische Prozesse spielen sich meist über größere Raum- und Zeitdimensionen ab. Diese Prozesse sind weit entfernt von unserer Alltagserfahrung, in der wir eher kurzfristige und direkte Wechselbeziehungen erleben, und in denen wir eher Individuen wahrnehmen und nicht sich verändernde Populationen.

Computersimulationen bzw. dynamische Modelle können helfen, diese Lernschwierigkeiten zu überwinden – ähnlich wie Teleskope und Mikroskope erlauben sie es, Sachverhalte zu erkennen, die mit dem “bloßen Auge” nicht sichtbar sind. Computersimulationen können Prozesse über größere Raum- und Zeitdimensionen modellhaft darstellen, und eignen sich daher besonders für das Beobachten, Untersuchen und Verstehen von ökologischen Zusammenhängen, Populationsmustern, und evolutionären Prozessen.

Wir entwickeln Modelle mithilfe der kostenfreien Modellierungssoftware NetLogo.

Die Präsentation gibt eine Einführung in die grundlegenden Elemente und Funktionen der NetLogo-Benutzeroberfläche und in die agentenbasierte Modellierung.

Ausgewählte Modelle

NetLogo: Zwei Förster

Eine interaktive Einführung in Konzepte der Ökologie, Verhaltensökologie und Nachhaltigkeit mithilfe einer Computersimulation eines einfachen sozial-ökologischen Systems

NetLogo: Zwei Gemeinden

Dieses NetLogo-Modell erweitert das Modell Zwei Förster und führt eine größere und komplexere Populationsstruktur ein.

NetLogo: Evolution und Konkurrenz um Ressourcen (abstrakt)

Mit diesem Modell können Schüler:innen beobachten, wie Konkurrenz um Ressourcen die Evolution einer Population beeinflusst und zur Übernutzung der Ressource führen kann. Dieses Modell ähnelt dem Modell Evolution und Konkurrenz um Ressourcen (Forst), ist aber abstrakter.

NetLogo: Inselwelt

Dieses Modell simuliert die Evolution von Populationen in einer räumlich strukturierten Umwelt, was bedeutet, dass Ressourcen und Populationen nicht völlig zufällig oder gleichmäßig über die ganze Welt verteilt sind. Hier wirken mehrere Evolutionsmechanismen, insbesondere Migration, Gründereffekt, Isolation und Multilevel-Selektion.
