Which of the following best describes the link between survivorship curves and opportunistic species?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opportunistic species have a high reproductive capacity and produce many offspring, which allows them to quickly take advantage of favorable environmental conditions. They are less affected by density-dependent factors, and more by density-independent factors, such as weather and natural disasters. Therefore, they exhibit a Type III survivorship curve, characterized by high mortality rates at the beginning of their life cycle and a rapid decline in survivorship.
