According to the assigned reading on population ecology from Britannica, Type one and Type three survivorship curves indicate populations that are growing at different rates.
- Type one survivorship curve represents a pattern where most individuals have a high probability of surviving to middle or old age. This indicates that the population is growing slowly and has a low mortality rate in the early stages of life.
- Type three survivorship curve represents a pattern where most individuals die at a young age, and only a few individuals survive to reproductive age. This indicates that the population is growing rapidly, with a high mortality rate in the early stages of life.
Therefore, Type three survivorship curves indicate populations that are growing fast, while Type one survivorship curves indicate populations that are growing slowly.
