To study the evolutionary process and the emergence of species, we have conceived an individual-based evolving predator-prey ecosystem simulation presented in (Gras, 2009). One major and unique contribution of this simulation is that it combines a behavioral, an evolutionary and a speciation mechanism. This is the only simulation modeling the fact that individual behaviors affect evolution and speciation. We have already obtained some very interesting and promising results from our simulation on species abundance distribution, study of chaotic patterns or population spatial distribution.
