Environmental Modelling & Software 22, 693 700] suggested the possibility of linking ecological network analysis to multi-species NK models of self-organizing systems [Kauffman, S.A., 1993. The Origins of Order: Self-organization and Selection in Evolution. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 709p.] to explore the dynamics of ecosystem development.
The biological evolution of complex organisms, in which the functioning of genes is interdependent, has been analysed as "hill-climbing" on NK fitness landscapes through random mutation and natural selection [Kauffman, S.A., 1993. The Origins of Order. Self-organization and Selection in Evolution. Oxford University Press, New York & Oxford].
