Survivorship+Curves



Survivorship Curves
e.g: If there's ONE offspring: >they are offered a lot of parental care >well adapted into their environment **
 * Type I : mortality occurs in the elderly

** > >No parental care
 * Type III : Juvenile mortality is high (R strategist)

** > >This means mortality does not depend on age. e.g: Large fish > >Produced in smaller number > >Little parental care > >May die because of predation, humans, hunting (by humans), competition, disease,unlikely by old age
 * Type II : Many organisms do not fit neatly into K- or R- strategists, they are somewhere in between.
