Document Summary
Ls 7b week 8 wednesday reading age structure the number of individuals within each age group of a population. Insights into these parameters come from the age structure of a population, the number of individuals within each age group of the population studied. A population in which most individuals are past their age of greatest reproduction (because for some reason young are not surviving) or a population mostly composed of individuals that has not yet reached peak reproductive age. 46. 11 presents data on the duration of each stage in the lime swallowtail life cycle and the numbers killed in that stage. We can consider the individual eggs that begin our study to form a cohort, a group defined as the individuals born at a given time, and we can trace their survival as they age. The figure below shows survivorship data for clownfish. Group 2 and 3 have higher survival rate, but the rate of survival does decrease over time.
