The diagram below depicts three general types of survivorship curves. Only the form of the curve is important, not its absolute scale. Which of the following statements is LEAST likely to be true?

#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.
