Explanation

Insects' populations often follow J-shaped curves.

Due to rapid growth under favorable conditions.

This exponential growth occurs when resources are abundant and there are few limiting factors.

Explanation

Evenness refers to how evenly individuals are distributed across different species in an ecosystem.

High evenness means species have similar numbers of individuals.

Low evenness indicates that a few species dominate the community.

Explanation

Explanation

The three types of survivorship curves are:

• Type 1: High survival rates for most of the lifespan, with a sharp decline in older age (e.g., humans).
• Type 2: Steady mortality rate throughout life (e.g., birds).
• Type 3: High mortality early in life, with few surviving to adulthood (e.g., fish).

Explanation

The three types of survivorship curves are:

• Type I: High survival rate through most of life (e.g., humans, large mammals).
• Type II: Constant mortality rate throughout life (e.g., birds, some reptiles).
• Type III: High mortality in early life but those that survive tend to live long (e.g., many fish, plants).
