Is there a correlation between an organism's method of reproduction and its risk of being endangered?

Kinda-sorta.
Although it's not really about the method, but more about speed and success rate.
Take pandas as an example:
-they breed once a year
-females won't accept any old male that's available
-only a short time
-usually only get one surviving cub
-the mother won't breed the next season
-the cub will need several years to get old enough to breed in turn.
All this means that has the population gone down, getting the numbers back up takes a lot of time. And all that time the small population is at a higher risk. There's famine, maybe a disease will strike, poor weather when cubs are small and most vulnerable etc etc.
Now compare that to something like domestic cats. They'll breed year round, females don't seem to be very chosy, have several kittens, be ready to breed again very soon, and the kittens will be able to breed themselves fairly soon too.
That population, and that species will be able to build up its numbers a lot faster, despite the actual method of breeding is the same.

What is the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in organisms?
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two half-cells, or gametes, to create an offspring, e.g. in humans. Asexual reproduction referes to reproduction without the need for another organism, e.g. binary fission (spliting) in bacteria.
What is multiple correlation coefficient and partial correlation coefficient?
partial correlation is the relation between two variable after controlling for other variables and multiple correlation is correlation between dependent and group of independent variables.
Is there a direct correlation between amplitude and wavelength?
Thgere's no correlation whatsoever between amplitude and wavelength.
What is the type of correlation where there in no relationship between two data sets?
There is no correlation.
What is the maximum and minimum value of the correlation coefficient?
The correlation can be anything between +1 (strong positive correlation), passing through zero (no correlation), to -1 (strong negative correlation).
What is the relationship between correlation and causation?
correlation implies the cause and effect relationship,, but casuality doesn't imply correlation.
What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
