As such it should prove valuable to link chronological time (used for demographic projection models) and generation time (used in quantitative genetics analyses) in projection models incorporating genotypes, such as the «genetic IPMs» of @timcoulson.bsky.social and collaborators.

This paper also provides formulas to obtain the var-covariance of Lifetime Reproductive Success structured by the type of the parent and the type of the offspring and its distribution (via its pgf).

Authors used the framework of branching processes, leading to a simple algorithm providing a numerical approximation of the distribution of total lifetime reproductive success that does not require explicit expression of probability-generating functions🖥️🧪🌍
