Use the hypothetical data on Parus major from the table below to do the following:
1. Calculate the typical survival rate from one stage to the next for this species. (2
points)
2. Calculate the number of individuals after four years in a population that starts
with 50 adult individuals if adult survival between years is 40%. (Assume a 1:1
sex ratio; 2 points)
"Female fertility" refers to the number of eggs laid by one female in a particular site.
• For both questions, explain briefly, in your own words, the procedure you
followed to obtain your results.
• You may consult with anyone you wish, but you must show your own work.
. The instructor will not answer individual questions about this assignment until
after all assignments have been submitted.
