Summary Introduction

To review:

Some density-independent and density-dependent features that could check the growth of population of an of bird cohort.

Given:

A cohort life table of an endangered bird species as calculated in Table 1, below.

Table 1: A cohort table representing the expected population of an endangered bird by the year 2035.

Years Age (x) Number of female birds (Nx) Number of female offspring (Nx offspring) Survivorship (lx) Fecundity (mx) lx m x x l x m x
2012 0 100 0 1 0 0 0
2013 1 50 75 0.5 1.5 0.75 0.75
2014 2 40 80 0.4 2 0.8 1.6
2015 3 30 60 0.3 2 0.6 1.8

Introduction:

Population growth of a species depends on various factors. One of the important factors is the density of population. Some of the factors that control population growth are density-dependent and some are density-independent.

Select the statements that are reasonable interpretations of this figure regarding the hatching success of Leather Back Sea Turtles. Annual hatching success 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 o Hatching success ● Precipitation O O C L 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0.0 O 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008 2012 Seasonal precipitation (mm) O Hatching success does not appear to be affected by precipitation O There appears to be less variation in precipitation over time than in hatching success O Precipitation decreased between 1980 and 2012 and that appears to be correlated to reduction in hatching success over that time Changing temperatures are the cause of declining hatching success There appears to be more variation in precipitation than in hatching success over time Relyea, Ecology, 9e, 2021 W.

To 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.
