Title: Separable models for age-structured population genetics
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the applications of nonlinear age-dependent dynamics to population genetics. Age-structured models are formulated for a single autosomal locus with an arbitrary number of alleles. The following cases are considered: (a) haploid populations with selection and mutation; (b) monoecious diploid populations with or without mutation reproducing by self-fertilization of by two types of random mating. The diploid models do not deal with selection. For these cases the genic and genotypic frequencies evolve towards time-persistent forms, whether the total population size tends towards exponential growth or not.
