Many fish species and other species that have many offspring at once exhibit type the III survivorship curve, because most die early in life. Few live to old age, but most that survive their youth will live a long life. The organisms that exhibit this type of survivorship curve are typically r strategists, so they provide little to no parental care for their offspring, which makes it harder for them to survive, especially in the unusually unstable environments in which they may live.

Which survivor ship curve would represent frogs?

A type III survivorship curve is a good fit for frogs. The curve shows a high mortality rate early in life with a far lower mortality rate later in adult life. The curve is typical for species that have large numbers of offspring. Many species produce large numbers of eggs although some produce only one egg at a time. The morality rates are likely to vary depending on the number of eggs produced.


What type would a frog in a survivorship curve?

Type 3. Frogs are defenseless at a young age and often die, but survive later in life because of experience.
