Question

If you were a conservation biologist in charge of the recovery plans for an endangered species, which would you prefer to find within that species: an even distribution of age classes or a pyramid-shaped age distribution? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

pyramid-shaped age distribution

Explanation:

• A pyramid shaped age distribution is the shape of the graph constructed for age illustration when the population is growing when arranged in order of their age.
• Endangered species are the one that have a high probability to become extinct in the near future and the recovery plans of the conservation biologists are focused to preserve these species and help them to grow and survive.
• Therefore, if the endangered species are taken under a recovery plan, one would expect to find a pyramid shaped age distribution as the population would steadily grow.
