A population of beetles is being studied, and the following life table summarizes the survivorship and fecundity data: Age (x) Survivorship (lx) Fecundity (mx) 0-1 1.0 0 1-2 0.6 1.0 2-3 0.3 1.5 3-4 0.1 0.5 A) Using the life table, calculate the net reproductive rate (R0) (Need to show calculations to receive full credit). B) Determine whether the population is growing, shrinking, or stable.
