I count a proxies scat counts mark recapture region harvest and per extrapolate ) unit effort. = probability birth day they celebrate their birthday always decreases. Survivorship curve straight line random causes not old birds , small animals age etc. * usually female focused on of females and offspring. Life history : traits that affect its schedule of reproduction and survival age of when how how often many reproductions starts organism reproduces offspring are produced / cycle. Mega faunal life histories low mortality adults immune until to old age predation ex ) humans. I except by humans: delayed reproduction inter birth interval long few offspring doesn"t ( until reproduce it"s big getting to adults are more important adulthood z living forever.
