Document Summary
Human & large mammals that produce few offspring with good care: type ii, most individuals has a relatively constant survivorship over their lifetime, ex. Oysters with large number of offspring, with little or no parental care, also sea turtles: note, many species display curves in between the 3 basic survivorship curve types, think, pair, share in-lecture discussion activity. Some have more complex survivorship curves: how can survivorship curves be used for conservation biology efforts, sea turtle conservancy: identify the a species survivorship and create conservation plans according to that. In-lecture discussion real-world example the life history of daphnia. Having to compare trans-mouse with normal mouse by looking at body mass index. 52. 6 exponential growth is independent of population size. 52. 20 the human population has been growing rapidly: fig. 52. 21 populations for human population growth to 2050: wide base at bottom indicates rapid growth (age structure pyramid)-kenya, slow growth-usa, zero/decrease growth-italy.
