A Type I survivorship curve (most deaths late in life) is typical of
- Acheck_circle
Mammals with extensive parental care (humans, elephants)
- B
Insects with very high juvenile mortality (mosquitoes, fruit flies)
- C
Bacteria with continuous reproduction and decay (E. coli, archaea)
- D
Most fish and trees with constant per-capita mortality (cod, oaks)
Explanation
Type I = high early survival, deaths concentrated in old age. Type III = high early mortality (most invertebrates, fish). Type II = constant rate (some birds, small mammals).
