Cool applet experimenting with the evolution of sex.

Quote:

The main reason for implementing the model was to find out what environmental conditions would be most suitable to provide selection pressure encouraging the development of sex in organisms whose choice of mate is strictly confined to one of its four neighbours.
The applet conclusively illustrates a number of cases where the advantages of sexual recombination are sufficient to drive the evolution of sexuality in such a population.
