Abstract
Environmental and meteorological phenomena play a major role in the transport and diversification of plant populations. According to a wide range of parameters, including the seed size and density, winds and water currents are instrumental in the dispersal of the said populations. In this paper, a colored Petri Nets (CPN) based behavioral model of the transport and dispersal of populations through the Tunisian coats islands is presented. A special attention to the Isozyme transport mechanism and frequencies, and the simulation results did show a uni-directional flow of the genetic material that matches with the observed populations.
