![**Survivorship in *Balanus***
This graph illustrates the survivorship curve for the species *Balanus*. It tracks the probability of surviving across different age groups, measured in years.
- **Y-Axis (Vertical):** This axis represents the survivorship (lx), which ranges from 0.000 to 1.000. The value of 1.000 at age 0 indicates that all individuals of the cohort are alive at the start.
- **X-Axis (Horizontal):** This axis represents age in years, ranging from 0 to 10.
**Key Observations:**
- The curve shows a steep decline in survivorship in the early years, suggesting high mortality rates shortly after birth.
- By the age of 3 years, survivorship drops significantly to below 0.100.
- After age 3, the decline continues but at a slower rate, indicating that those who survive early years tend to have a longer lifespan.
- The curve flattens as age increases, suggesting that mortality rates decrease as individuals get older.
This type of graph is useful in understanding the life expectancy and mortality patterns of a species.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3a6d2993-c5e6-4d63-959c-bc3a9df1fb56%2Fa2c74c72-1141-4c3e-8ce4-d9ae787cf54a%2Fwtpqpqk_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Introduction
Population ecology describes how members of a population engage with and adapt to their surroundings. The quantity of people in a population is referred to as population density. Graphs called survival curves provide a visual representation of the proportion of a population that is still alive at various ages. In some societies, parents devote a lot of time and effort to raising their children. The majority of the offspring reach reproductive age as a result of this treatment. People have hundreds of children in other populations, but they do not care for them after they are born. These elements have an impact on population survival rates.
