🏝️ Island Evolution
Insects start on a neutral central island and migrate to colored islands. Each island favors insects that match its color, creating distinct selection pressures.
🦋 Adaptive Coloration
Four insect colors compete: green, brown, red, and black. Black insects are adapted to survive on both green and brown islands, showing generalist adaptation.
🌊 Migration Challenges
Insects must cross water to reach islands. Adjust the water survival rate to control how easily populations can migrate and colonize new habitats.
🧬 Mutation & Variation
Random mutations create color variation in offspring. This genetic diversity allows populations to adapt to new environments over time.
📈 Population Dynamics
Track population changes in real-time. Watch how different colors rise and fall based on available habitats and selection pressures.
⚖️ Carrying Capacity
Each island has limited space based on its size. Larger islands support more insects, creating realistic population constraints.
