Fixation probabilities when generation times are variable: the burst death model.

Abstract excerpt

Estimating the fixation probability of a beneficial mutation has a rich history in theoretical population genetics. Typically, to attain mathematical tractability, we assume that generation times are fixed, while the number of offspring per individual is stochastic. However, fixation probabilities are extremely sensitive to these assumptions regarding life history. In this article, we compute the fixation...
