Our paper on the use of graphics processors for simulation of self-organizing ecosystems at large spatial scales has just appeared in Ecological modelling. A good starting point if you want to use CUDA for efficiently simulating very large grids, just with your own computer.

This friday (June 24, 2011) Monique de Jager’s first paper appeared in Science. It deals with the movement strategies of mussels in self-organized landscapes, and how this strategy, a Levy Walk, can evolve because of the close interaction with the landscape.
