Stage Four Low Fluctuation

Decent Essays
Stage One is where we have a high birth rate AND a high death rate and therefore you have a stable population

Stage Two is where we continue to have a high birth rate but the death rate starts to fall and therefore the population expands and you get population growth

Stage Three is where the death rate is low and your birth rate starts to fall, but your population is still rising because your birth rate is still higher than the death rate. We have entered this stage now. In the 1800s the death rates fell significantly due to the improvements in health, medicine and sanitation.

Stage Four low fluctuation where you have both a low birth rate and a low death rate. Therefore, they cancel each other out but the population remains high. This

    The hypothesis that the bubble population without help would have a type III survivorship curve was rejected because the survivorship curve of this population resembled a type II curve. It likely resembled this type of survivorship curve because the population was likely to die at any point in time, since there were no factors to inhibit or encourage the bubbles to pop, but once they hit the ground or any other obstacle, which could have happened randomly at any point in time, they popped. This population had fairly constant death rate from zero years of age to about eight years of age and from nine years of age to about fifteen years of age. The hypothesis that the soap bubble population with help would exhibit a type I survivorship curve was rejected because the survivorship curve of this population was actually between a type II and type III survivorship curve.…

    In Fred Pearce’s essay, “TV as Birth Control”, he argues that the installation of television sets in developing countries has a severe effect to the fertility rate of those countries. Pearce makes a valid argument stating that women are having less children just by simply watching a television program, such as a soap opera. Pearce provides examples of several countries that have fewer educational opportunities than the Unites States does, and he specifically uses those examples to show the readers why watching television is helpful to that problem. The author makes a compelling testimony and is greatly persuasive with the use of statistics as well as the evidence from researchers.…

    Worldwide population growth is an issue that grows more and more urgent with each passing day. Our earth is nearing its capacity, and its important that we address this issue to avoid a worldwide state of emergency. Garrett Hardin and Clark Wolf both discuss this issue in detail, and offer their own solutions on how we should solve this problem. However, while Hardin presents a valid view of our world population problems, Wolf provides a more well rounded argument, and goes further to provide reasonable, effective solutions that target the true source of the issue. Garrett Hardin, in his essay “Lifeboat Ethics,” describes the problem of current world population growth, and how we are making this already very serious issue even worse by living…

    STAGE FOUR: COMPLETE COLONIZATION Finally! You have achieved the goal of creating a fully colonized fungal biomass, capable of fruiting mushrooms. Your spawn run is complete, and now you only have to wait a few days to a few weeks before mushrooms will appear. Complete colonization is similar to the “resting” phase (stage seven) in that there is a meta- bolic shift and preparation. During this time the fungus concentrates on feeding rather than spreading; it is recharging its battery, so to speak, to give it enough en- ergy to fruit as many mushrooms as possible.…

    Similarly, Togo’s Fertility can be analyzed through studying different measurements taken from certain groups of the population throughout different points in time. The crude birth rate is probably the simplest and most common measurement of fertility and as of the year 2015, Togo maintained a rate of 38 births per 1,000 of the population per year. Additionally, the total fertility rate was most recently (2015) projected at 4.8, however, that projection only shows what would happen if the childbearing conditions remained exactly the same. In 2013, the age specific birth rate for adolescent fertility was 53 births per 1,000 women ages 15-19 years old.…

Likewise it shifts when low mortality is developed at an older age structure do to chronic illnesses. Based on previous history, this transition was formally known as the epidemiological who emphasized diseases and not the causes of death.
