Summary Introduction
To describe: The survivorship curve developed by Deevey based on Murie’s data.
Introduction: The graphical representation which represents the survival rate of individuals for each age class is known as a survivorship curve. Survivorship for different species falls into one of the three patterns: type I, type II, and type III.
