Ecology and Evolution Simulations

Tietjen Programs

If you wish, you can Download and Install stand-alone versions of the ecology and evolution models (for IE, right-click on the file name, save it to disk, then install from there). These versions will run without a connection to the internet and provide additional functionality. Click on the desired model, tell it to run from it's current location, and just follow the setup directions. For more detailed install procedures, click here. Permission is granted to other instructors to use these programs in their classrooms. All I ask is that you e-mail me telling me how the programs are being used. Suggestions are welcome.
