Love kills: Simulations in Penna Ageing Model
D. Stauffer, S. Cebrat, T.J.P. Penna, A.O. Sousa

TL;DR
This paper extends the Penna ageing model by incorporating love-based mating criteria, demonstrating how varying the difference threshold in love strings affects population survival.
Contribution
Introduces a novel love-based mating mechanism in the Penna model, analyzing its impact on population dynamics and extinction thresholds.
Findings
Population dies out at high love string difference thresholds
Lower thresholds allow stable populations
Love-based mating influences population longevity
Abstract
The standard Penna ageing model with sexual reproduction is enlarged by adding additional bit-strings for love: Marriage happens only if the male love strings are sufficiently different from the female ones. We simulate at what level of required difference the population dies out.
