given the life table of bees, please make a survivorship curve like on the example graph. what type of survivor ship curve is the table below?
You are maintaining a small population of fruit flies in the laboratory by transferring the flies to a new culture bottle after each generation. After several generations, you notice that the viability of the flies has decreased greatly. Recognizing that small population size is likely to be linked to decreased viability, the best way to reverse this trend is to cross your flies with flies from another lab. True or false

- Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?arrow_forwardThe“net reproduction rate” equals:a.(x lxmx)/R0.b.nx.c.lx mx.d.x lx mx.e.none of the choices apply.arrow_forwardBased on the text on roaches mating: 1.

- A group of students wanted to learn how the concentration of copper in water affects the survival of tiny aquatic plankton called Daphnia. The students made four different copper solutions: 0% copper, 0.5% copper, 1% copper, and 2% copper. They poured 200mL of each solution into separate beakers and added 10 Daphnia to each beaker. After 5 days, the students counted how many Daphnia were still alive in each beaker. What is the control treatment in this study?arrow_forwardFor question with blank, choose the combination of answers that most accurately completes the statement.The .................. host is where the larva develops, and the host is where the adults produce fertile eggs. a. intermediate, defi nitive c. secondary, transport b. defi nitive, intermediate d. primary, secondaryarrow_forwardOrganisms interact with each other and the physical environment.
