1)
The Leslie Matrix is used in ecology to model the __________.
changes in a population of organisms over a period of time.
changes in only age group of organisms over a period of time.
changes in only fecundity of organisms over a period of time.
None of the above.
2)
The value of first row in the Leslie matrix is represented as ____ and The diagonal values starting from second row in the Leslie matrix is represented as _____ .
Age classes (x) and Population vector (n)
Fraction of individuals that survives from age class x to age class x+1 (sx) and Fecundity (Fx)
Population vector (n) and Age classes (x)
Average female offspring per female of the population (mx) and Population vector (n)
3)
Leslie matrix is _________ model of population growth.
Discrete
Continuous
Discontinuous
All of the above
4)
What does the Life Table describe?
Variation of Fecundity (Fx) over a period of time.
