Document Summary
Demography: the study of the vital / life statistics of a population, how they change over time, death rate & birth rate, other factors . = all individuals in a particular age group: a key component of a life table, the proportion of offspring produced that survive, on average, to a particular age, a survivorship curve, survivorship & fecundity. The growth rate of a population. Lxmx = age-specific survivorship x age-specific fecundity the average number of female offspring produced by females during each age of life. That an individual will survive & reproduce in any. Given year over its entire lifetime: generation. The growth rate of a population per generation. Survivorship (lx) lx = nx/n0: lx : age-specific survivorship (age = x) Nx : # of alive individuals at age x. N0 : # of original individuals at the beginning.
