Vital rates from the action of mutation accumulation
Kenneth W. Wachter, David R. Steinsaltz, Steven N. Evans
New models for evolutionary processes of mutation accumulation allow hypotheses about the age-specificity of mutational effects to be translated into predictions of heterogeneous p…
The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
Kenneth W. Wachter, Steven N. Evans, David R. Steinsaltz
W. D. Hamilton's celebrated formula for the age-specific force of natural selection furnishes predictions for senescent mortality due to mutation accumulation, at the price of reli…
Damage segregation at fissioning may increase growth rates: A superprocess model
Steven N. Evans, David Steinsaltz
A fissioning organism may purge unrepairable damage by bequeathing it preferentially to one of its daughters. Using the mathematical formalism of superprocesses, we propose a flexi…
A generalized model of mutation-selection balance with applications to aging
David Steinsaltz, Steven N. Evans, Kenneth W. Wachter
A probability model is presented for the dynamics of mutation-selection balance in a haploid infinite-population infinite-sites setting sufficiently general to cover mutation-drive…
