Abstract
EVOLVE IV is an evolutionary ecosystem model designed to explore niche proliferation and the emergence of inter-specific interactions. Organisms can interact by exchanging metabolites and by modifying their environment either to the benefit or detriment of neighboring organisms. Experiments indicate that niche formation occurs in the model
