- What controls changes in population size?arrow_forwardDistinguish between populations showing concave and convex survivorship curves. What are their typical life history strategies?arrow_forwardFor each organism, create a survivorship curve by plotting the given information in a line graph. Title each graph "Survivorship Curve for [name of organism]." The y-axis should be labeled "Survivorship" and contain low, medium, and high indicators. The x-axis should be labeled "Life Span" and contain young, middle-aged, and old indicators. American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Even before they hatch, the offspring are prone to high rates of predation. Many offspring die before they reach adulthood. Of the offspring that do survive, some will die in adulthood, and some will live their entire natural life span.arrow_forward

Multiple Choice In 1910, humans had Type II survivorship, but in 2010 they had Type I. There was greater difference in survivorship between the sexes in 2010. The difference between 2010 and 1910 is due entirely to better health care of the elderly. Humans in 1910 tended to live longer than those in 2010.arrow_forward
