All Known Implementing Classes:

Environment_Susceptible, Environment_TS

public interface Susceptible

This interface defines a method which makes an Environment susceptible to change due to the extended phenotypes of organisms. This is particularly useful for splitting-type Populations, e.g. Population_Managed objects, which tend to be be based on asexual reproduction.
