- Abstract
In this paper, we ascertain the validity of a diffusion approximation for the frequencies of different types under recurrent mutation and frequency-dependent viability and fertility selection in a haploid population with a fixed age-class structure in the limit of a large population size. The approximation is used to study, and explain in terms of selection coefficients, reproductive values and population-structure coefficients, the differences in the effects of viability versus fertility selection on the fixation probability of an advantageous mutant.
