Agent-Based Model Data on Multicellular Reproduction and Disease Spread

Data Sheet 1_Single-cell bottlenecks in multicellular reproduction can hinder the spreading of infectious disease.pdf is a 2.3 MB PDF file authored by Angel Garcia-Casillas and last updated on 2026-05-19. It contains data from an agent-based model investigating how asymmetric asexual reproduction strategies in multicellular organisms can delay the spread of infectious diseases. The model compares symmetric and asymmetric reproduction under conditions of direct and indirect disease transmission.

Use Cases

• Simulating host-pathogen coevolution based on the described agent-based model of multicellular organisms.
• Analyzing the trade-offs between symmetric and asymmetric reproduction strategies under disease pressure as described in the model.
• Testing theoretical predictions about the evolution of single-celled propagules in multicellular life cycles.
• Investigating the role of organism size and mortality in disease transmission dynamics as outlined in the model framework.

Strengths

• File size is precisely 2.3 MB, indicating a manageable download.
• The dataset is associated with a clearly defined theoretical model and research hypothesis described in the summary.
• It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single PDF file; the underlying model data, column definitions, and row counts are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2026-05-19 05:29:14; freshness should be verified.
