Pipefish hаve а unique prоcess оf reprоduction. A femаle produces hundreds of eggs and deposits them into a male's brood pouch where they mature. The female then leaves to mate with other males. Once the eggs have matured, the "pregnant" male ejects hundreds of baby pipefish from his brood pouch. 1) Which survivorship curve do pipefish most likely exhibit? [1] 2) Does this pattern suggest that pipefish are an r-selected or K-selected species? [2] Tip: Remember that if you move from the top right to the bottom left of a survivorship graph, you pass through type I, then type II, then type III.
