Chapter Objectives


A survivorship curve summarizes the pattern of survival in a population.

The age distribution of a population reflects its history of survival, reproduction, and potential for future growth.

A life table combined with a fecundity schedule can be used to estimate net reproductive rate (R0), geometric rate of increase, (), generation time (T), and per capita rate of increase (r).

Dispersal can increase or decrease local population densities.
