  abstract = {We investigate the results of coevolution of spatially
                 distributed populations. In particular, we describe
                 work in which a simple function approximation problem
                 is used to compare different spatial evolutionary
                 methods. Our work shows that, on this problem, spatial
                 coevolution is dramatically more successful than any
                 other spatial evolutionary scheme we tested. Our
                 results support two hypotheses about the source of
                 spatial coevolution's superior performance: (1) spatial
                 coevolution allows population diversity to persist over
                 many generations; and (2) spatial coevolution produces
                 training examples ({"}parasites{"}) that specifically
                 target weaknesses in models ({"}hosts{"}). The precise
                 mechanisms by which the combination of spatial
                 embedding and coevolution produces these results are
                 still not well understood.},
