You construct a life table for a plant species and find that in all cases about the same proportion of the cohort survive to the beginning of the next time interval.What would you call this?

A Type II survivorship curve is characterized by a constant mortality rate throughout the life span of an organism. In this scenario, the proportion of the cohort surviving to the next time interval is constant, indicating a constant mortality rate and thus a Type II survivorship curve. Type I survivorship curves have high early survival followed by a rapid decline in later life, while Type III curves are characterized by low early survival followed by a period of relatively high survival later in life. Semelparous life history adaptations refer to organisms that reproduce once and then die, while populations regulated by density-independent events are not relevant to this scenario.
