Life tables give the most comprehensive description of the age-specific survival rate and fecundity of insect populations. These information can also be used to project the population growth and stage differentiation. Using life table, we can compare the population growth potential of an insect on different host plants, under different environmental conditions. It can be used to compare different insects under the same conditions. If we combine the life table study with consumption rate study of a pest insect, we can also estimate the damage of a insect population to a crop plant. If we combine the life table study with predation rate study of a predatory insect, it is also possible to estimate the potential of this predator as an agent of biological control. Life table is the most important basis for qualitative and quantitative study of population ecology.

What is the importance of the ecology on your planet?
Ecology is essential on our planet as it maintains the balance of ecosystems, supports biodiversity, and provides resources such as clean air and water that are vital for life. Understanding and preserving ecology is crucial for the sustainability of our planet and the well-being of all living organisms.

What is the life span of an insect?
It depends on what kind of insect.
Can you provide you with easy life insurance formulas for mortality tables or life tables or anything like that?
no
What is ecology matters?
Of course, it matters. Ecology is a general concept, which includes animails, human beings, plants, environment and etc. As a member of ecology, a little change of ecology may have big influence on our life.
What is the importance of ecology to man?
Ecology is important to man because it helps us understand the relationships between living organisms and their environment. By studying ecology, we can better manage natural resources, address environmental issues, and ensure the sustainability of ecosystems that support human life. Ultimately, ecology plays a crucial role in promoting the well-being of both people and the planet.
Is ecology earth science or life science?
neither
Why do biologists study ecology?
ecology is the study of everyday life and effects us socialy and physically..from getting a cold to the air pollution.
