Question:
Suppose an environmental change affects the organism in Exercise 49 in such a way that an individual is only half as likely as before to survive to age x years. If the number of female births f(x) remains the same, how is the ideal age for reproduction affected by this change?
Data from Exercises 49
Suppose that for a particular semelparous organism, the likelihood of an individual surviving to age x years is p(x) = e−0.2x and that the number of female births to an individual at age x is f(x) = 5x0.9. What is the ideal age for reproduction for an individual organism of this species?
