Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the jwt-auth domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Pоpulаtiоn ecоlogists studying а plаnt population construct the life table and survivorship curve shown below. Age Class # Survivors (N) Survivorship (lx) Age-Specific Fecundity (mx) Mean Births/Year/Original Female (lxmx) 0 500,000 1 0 0 1 5,000 0.01 58 0.58 2 250 0.0005 521 0.2605 3 100 0.0002 603 0.1206 4 60 0.00012 775 0.093 5 40 0.00008 750 0.06 What type of life-history trade-off is shown by this population based on the survivorship curve? Explain your reasoning. Is this population increasing in size, decreasing in size, or stable? Briefly explain how the data support your conclusion (don't just give a number, state why the number supports your conclusion). If the ecologists were tasked with managing this population to increase the size of the population, which age class should they focus on protecting and why? Note: For all explanations you provide on this assignment, you want to give me a full explanation that shows your understanding of the topic, and not rely on me to fill in gaps for you when I'm reading it. A good approach is to think about how you would explain it to a friend who was trying to understand it. Put all explanations entirely in your own words.
