#Section 1: Ecology
  1. age-specific rates of survival and fecundity remain unchanged; the population eventually assumes a stable age distribution
  2. Type III survivorship curve is the result of a high initial survival rate, which then falls off abruptly with age as the age-specific mortality rate increases
  3. The natural enemies hypothesis suggests that natural enemies may reduce densities of the strongest prey competitors
  4. There is indirect proportional of relationship between average plant weight and density in populations, referred to as a self-thinning curve
