Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers survivorship curves, focusing on their types (I, II, and III), characteristics, and connection to r/K-selected species. It explains how these curves reflect mortality patterns and parental care impact. The guide also provides real-world applications in conservation and wildlife management, including example species and a comparison table. Finally, it offers exam tips, common question types, and practice questions for the AP Environmental Science exam.
