Homeostatic Turnover, Repair, and the Demographic Form of Haldane's Principle

Haldane's principle relates equilibrium mutation load to deleterious mutational input rather than to selection strength. We study this balance in a homeostatically regulated, damage-structured population where mutation occurs during reproduction, repair restores individuals toward lower-damage states, and nonlinear demographic feedback maintains constant population size. An exact demographic…
