Biology Survivorship

Survivorship

Chance of an individual in given popultion surviving at a certain age. Helped to Maintain viable offspring.

Uniform Dispersal Pattern

Even Dispersion. Results from interactions within a population. result in territorial behavior.

Survivorship Curve Type 3

Low survivorship of very young, Followed by period of high survivorship.Produce many offspring which require little or no care.

Survivorship Curve Type 1

Produce few offspring give good care and increase chance of survival.

Population

Single species in a general area. Rely on same resources, same abiotic factors, reproduce with one another.

Random Dispersion Pattern

Spaced and unpredicted way. Plants grown from windblown seeds. Rare to see cause of Habittat and social interactions.

Survivorship Curve Type 2

Survivorship is constant. No one stage is most vulnerable.

Population Ecology

Topic

dispersion pattern

how individual organisms are dispersed thoughout their envirement.

population density

how many individuals in a given area per unit area of volume.

clumped dispersion pattern

most common in nature. Common becuase of uneven resources. Can reduce risk of predation. associated with social behavior.

population ecology

study of how popolation grows or shrinks over time.
