Consider the following life table for a cohort of sea turtles:
Age (years) |
Number alive at Start of Year |
Proportion Alive at Start of Year (Survivorship) |
Number Dying during the Year |
Death Rate That Year |
0-1 |
852 |
1.000 |
437 |
0.513 |
1-2 |
415 |
|||
2-3 |
276 |
|||
3-4 |
153 |
|||
4-5 |
98 |
|||
5-6 |
61 |
|||
6-7 |
34 |
|||
7-8 |
27 |
|||
8-9 |
12 |

9-10 |

Complete the table by calculating how many individuals in the cohort died at each time interval, and then calculate the survivorship by dividing the number still alive by the total number in the cohort at the start.
Example: At the beginning of the first year, all of the turtles are still alive, and the survivorship is 100% (1.000)
At the beginning of the second year, only 415 turtles remain, meaning 437 turtles died, meaning the survivorship is 415/852 = 0.487.
