Summary Introduction

To review:

Differences between populations showing concave and convex survivorship curves and their life history strategies.

Introduction:

The species are different in many aspects, including the chances of dying at any stage in their life. The lives of these organisms are tracked by a tool known as survivorship table. This table charts how many organisms born at the same time die in each year or unit time. The data procured for these charts is necessary to plot survivorship curves that help to understand the life history strategies of the species.
