Ecosystems are complex systems still waiting for a convenient and flexible way to model them.
This article extends the rule-based discrete-event modeling approach for ecosystems developed
by Gaucherel et al. Here, we propose the
systematic use of (1-safe) reset Petri nets r1: Rp+ ≫ Ec, Rp+
for the analysis of such systems. For this r2: Rp+, Ec+ ≫ Wk+, Rp+, Ec+
purpose, we use the translation from RR- r3: Wk+ ≫ Wd+, Te+, Fg+, Ec+, Wk+

between survival and collapse of this ecosys-
tem can be exhibited by structural properties of prefixes of its corresponding unfolding. The
modelling of the interaction rules in Petri nets requires, in addition to the usual combination
of read and production arcs, also the use of reset arcs to capture side effect relations, i.e. where
a resource is certainly absent after some event but not necessarily present prior to it. In com-
bination with automatizable place replication and complementation procedures, a dedicated
unfolding procedure represents the dynamics of a contextual reset net in an ordinary Petri net,
taking specificities of both read and reset arcs into account. Unfolding prefixes are computed by
the Ecofolder tool developed in this work. Here, we consider as an example of an ecosystem
the network of dominant interactions occurring in a termite colony (fig 1), directly inspired
from Gaucherel & Pommereau. Our model includes the following variables: Inhabitants: Rp:
reproductive termites, i.e. the queen, the king, the eggs and the nymphs; Wk: termite workers,

precedence is indicated by arrows, and dashed lines represent conflict relations. Note that
instances of R5 allow survival but do not guarantee it, as the downfall of the colony always
remains possible. The crown at every instance of r5 visualizes this tipping point, and to symbolize
a Red Queen. Loosely speaking, workers in the colony have to keep working at a sufficient rate
to prevent a successful attack by the ants. This phenomenon of arms race is suggested by Red
Queen hypotheses as proposed by L. Van Valen in 1973; it states that species must constantly
adapt, evolve and proliferate in the competition with antagonistic species, simply to survive.
Therefore, possibilistic approaches like ours allow an exhaustive exploration of the system’s
trajectory. Our method enables, in the future, to apply finer analysis methods to extract insight
about the system’s ecology from the study of its dynamics.
