Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Survivorship curve is a graph that represents the survival age of an organism or individuals. There are three main types of curves are present in survivorship curve: type I is concave curves which represent high survival age of an organism, type II diagonal curve which represent constant rate of mortality and type III is convex curves which represent lower survival age of an organisms.
