Abstract

We introduce the standard distribution width of fitness to characterize the global and individual features of a ecosystem in the Bak-Sneppen evolution model. Through tracking this quantity in evolution, a different hierarchy of avalanche dynamics, w0w_{0} avalanche is observed. The corresponding gap equation and the self-organized threshold wcw_{c} are obtained. The critical exponents τ,\tau , γ\gamma and ρ\rho , which describe the behavior of the avalanche size distribution, the average avalanche size and the relaxation to attractor, respectively, are calculated with numerical simulation. The exact master equation and γ\gamma equation are derived. And the scaling relations are established among the critical exponents of this new avalanche.
