Chapter 38, Problem 6RQ
(a)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The survivorship curve that best fits the given population types.
Introduction: Different animal species have different characteristic forms of survivorship from birth to the death of the last member of a cohort.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The survivorship curve that best fits the given population types.
Introduction: There are three different types of survivorship curves for different species. These curves are based on survival rate and death rate at different ages of different species.
(c)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The survivorship curve that best fits the given population types.
Introduction: The survivorship curve shows the number of individuals that survive to each age for a given species.

- Speculate upon the calculation shown in the table and Graph; Briefly explain: a)Do the cohort survivorship curves from each decade different from one another? If so, what might have caused the differences? b)Were the population growing while the cohort was extant? c)How would the data have been altered if Woodland Cemetery had stopped excepting interments in 1950 rather than being open to the present day? d) One problem with studying survivorship curves is that a birth cohort must be followed through until the death of the last individual. How would the shape of a 1960's cohort survivorship curve be altered from those of the 1800's?arrow_forwardA type I survivorship curve is characterized by _______________. Question 31 options: A) low infant mortality, then low survival. B) a constant mortality rate. C) high infant mortality, then high survival. D) a long lifespan. Most populations are regulated by a single factor. Question 35 options: A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardTo create a survivorship curve for the Andean condor: Graph Title: Survivorship Curve for Andean Condor Y-axis: Labeled "Survivorship" with indicators for "Low," "Medium," and "High" levels, ranging from 0 to 100% of the total initial cohort size. X-axis: Labeled "Life Span" with stages "Young" (0-5 years), "Middle-aged" (6-37 years), and "Old" (38-75 years). Key Features of the Curve: Begins high, reflecting near-total survival from birth to maturity due to low mortality and protected upbringing. remains flat and high through the middle age, indicating sustained low mortality. shows a steep decline in old age, representing increased mortality as individuals reach the latter part of their lifespan.arrow_forward

- The following table below includes age specific populations for Community Y. Age specific death rates for the standard population is given. Using the indirect method of age adjustment calculate the standardized mortality ratio for Community Y. State your conclusions about how the age distribution of Community Y affects the crude mortality rate. Age group Standard Age-Specific Mortality Rate in 2008 (per 100,000) Community Y Population Expected Deaths <20 25 1,200,000 20-39 75 850,000 40-59 250 750,000 60-74 425 1,000,000 >75 600 450,000 Total 4,250,000 Community Y had a total of 28,000 observed deaths in 2008. Use the indirect method of age adjustment to calculate the SMR.
