Life III, 1994. This description of the simulator PolyWorld
is recommended because it shares a lot of features with the experiments
we are doing woth Framsticks. Read esp. section 8 about behaviour.

This article is a good overview of the use of GA's in Alife
uptill 1993. Espesically important for our purposes is section
4 on Ecosystems, and section 7 on Social Systems.
