Introduction
This short article summarized some technical and conceptual hightlights from Wilensky et al. Wolf Sheep Grass predation models created in NetLogo.[1]
NetLogo is a tool for agent-based modelling and simulation, which is part of what can be called computational thinking. Wilensky and Reisman [2] [3] make an interesting case for learning biology through constructing and testing such computational models.
The agent-based version is also discussed in Population dynamics between preys and predators by Moira Zellner and Pierre Bommel and they also present an oscillating version where the wolf/sheep proportion is lower.
A simple wolf - sheep model
The wolf - sheep - grass
This model leads to a stable solution as you can see in the picture below. After 4500 ticks, both sheep and wolves are still around.
