Role of selective mating in population splitting
We present a simple model of pseudo-speciation driven only by selective mating. Using Monte Carlo simulation on a lattice we show that even without considering the genetic structure of the individuals a population living in a homogeneous habitat will divide into two, spatially separated, groups having different values of their trait. After some time one group (species) will change their trait and will be absorbed into the winning species.
