Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Type III survivorship curve in seen in those organisms that have high death rate in early life, but if they survive during the early stage, they have longer life after that.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
49) Carrying capacity is A) seldom exceeded in real populations. B) the maximum population size that a particular environment can support. C) fixed for most species over most of their range most of the time. D) determined by density and dispersion data. E) the term used to describe the stress a population undergoes due to limited resources. 17) The small intestine has a very large surface area that directly facilitates high rates of A) digestion. B) absorption. C) elimination. D) filtration.
5. Below is the survivorship growth curve- (C) a) What does the x-axis on the graph in Model 2 represent? b) Which type of organism shows a steady decline in its population at all life stages? c) Which type of organism loses most of the individuals in its population at an early life stage? d) What survivor type are humans? Percentage of organisms surviving 100 10 1 Type III Type II Time Type I
Speculate upon the calculation shown in the table and Graph; Briefly explain: a)Do the cohort survivorship curves from each decade different from one another? If so, what might have caused the differences? b)Were the population growing while the cohort was extant? c)How would the data have been altered if Woodland Cemetery had stopped excepting interments in 1950 rather than being open to the present day? d) One problem with studying survivorship curves is that a birth cohort must be followed through until the death of the last individual. How would the shape of a 1960's cohort survivorship curve be altered from those of the 1800's?
