abstract = "Ecology is a powerful force for unlocking the full
potential of evolution. Ecological interactions create
feedback loops that promote diversification, both in
natural ecosystems and in more applied evolutionary
computation frameworks. However, we currently lack a
strong theoretical framework that predicts how a given
ecological community will evolve.Such a framework would
allow us to better understand and anticipate change in
evolving systems and facilitate the harnessing of
ecology as a tool for guiding evolution. I develop
tools to begin the development of such theory in
computational systems. Using these tools, I show that
different mechanisms for creating ecology (e.g. spatial
structure and varied competition schemes) produce
radically different community structures and
evolutionary outcomes. I explore the implications of
these differences in the context of evolutionary
computation and biology",
