Hi folks. Just a quick announcement that our paper about SLiM 4 has just been accepted at the American Naturalist. You can see it at:
SLiM 4, as you may be aware, adds support for simulating multiple species in a single model, with individual-level ecological interactions between the species. This makes it possible to model coevolutionary dynamics and eco-evolutionary dynamics. The paper provides a relatively gentle introduction to how to do this in SLiM.
If you use SLiM 4, please cite this paper rather than citing the older SLiM 1/2/3 papers. Thanks!
Cheers,
-B.
