- The study is theoretical and mathematical rather than empirical. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- The analysis applies the full non-linear mutation-selection model of Evans et al. to deleterious mutations concentrated at single ages. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- The model evaluates each mutation's marginal cost against the aggregate survivorship schedule produced by other segregating mutations. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- The model's assumptions allow closed-form analysis but restrict direct biological interpretation. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
- The non-linear calculations use reductions in net reproduction ratio as the selective cost because alleles are maintained at mutation-selection equilibrium. — The Age-Specific Force of Natural Selection and Walls of Death
