Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Survivorship curve is a graphical representation that shows the number of individuals surviving upto a particular age in a given group. There are three types of survivorship curves, namely, type-I, type-II, and type-III.

The crossing of the two isoclines is a sufficient condition for species coexistence. C. If the species coexist, they will each do so at a higher density than either would if placed alone. D. Strongly competing species can only coexist if the two species have very different carrying capacities. E.

The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available. C. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand.
