- Charlesworth's linear model predicts a Gompertz-Makeham mortality schedule under constant mutation rates, constant adult hazards, and constant fertility after maturity. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- The non-linear model rejects the finite equilibrium underlying the Gompertz-Makeham prediction in the constant-rate point-mass case. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- Even a very small positive constant mutation rate cannot be balanced by natural selection under free recombination in the non-linear model. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- Near a Wall of Death, the hazard accelerates faster than exponentially rather than following ordinary Gompertz-Makeham form. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
