[A mathematical model of selection, including the energy metabolism of organisms, as an instrument for researching the evolutionary process].
A system simulating the selection conditions for studying the consequences arising from the differences in metabolism rates of the individuals (E-system) has been described. The E-system is a constructive expression of indirect individual elimination (Shmal'gauzen, 1939). The notion of energy exchange and general nonselective elimination as conjugated evolutionary factors has been proposed. The partial elimination has been connected with the known ecological generalization, the temporal decrease of negative interactions. The study demonstrated the ability to use the E-system as a heuristic tool for studying the theory of evolution.
