Population Sizes and Interactions during the Zombie Apocalypse
Population Sizes and Interactions during the Zombie Apocalypse
This Demonstration models the spread of the zombie pathogen during a potential apocalyptic scenario. Zombies are portrayed as green dots, while the humans are black dots that become green as they are infected. You can alter the probability that a human survives and the probability that a zombie successfully infects a human. This scenario, while highly implausible, nonetheless provides insight into a unique model of infection, in which the projected infection rate is visualized using both a predator/prey model and the corresponding Lotka–Volterra equations to plot changes in both populations.
