Creating a Bottleneck Effect in an Ostrilope Population in the Sim
Goal: In fewer than 30 generations, change the starting ostrilope population into a population of at least 70 individuals with low variation in color traits (4 traits or fewer). Do this without adding a predator.
Do:
Decide on a strategy to reduce the variation of the ostrilope population.
Open the Natural Selection Simulation and open the mode: Color Change Mission.
Try out your strategy by making any changes in either Build or Run.
Use the histograms in Analyze or the Traits Histogram Window in Run to see if your strategy was successful.
Tips:
You can modify abiotic factors in Run at any time by pressing the Abiotic Factors icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Do not make any changes to the starting ostrilope population settings.
Return to Build and press REBUILD to reset the Sim to the default settings.
