Sexual Selection and Life-History Evolution with Age-Dependent Paternal Mutation

A preliminary talk to be delivered to a graduate student seminar. Here I examine how sexual selection affects the rate of germ-line mutations delevered to offspring. Preliminary static results based on varying parameters within the mate choice function, the trait growth function and the intrinsic rate of increase on the generation time, which I use as a basic index of the impact of sperm-originating mutations on offspring.
