#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Nearly constant mortality results in a Type II curve.
  2. A fish that lays vast numbers of eggs exhibits a Type III curve.
  3. Mortality that is initially low, then increases rapidly during old age, results in a Type I curve. 
  4. A species with high juvenile mortality and high adult survivorship results in a Type I curve.
