A conservation biologist is working to protect elephant seal populations. Elephant have a classic type I survivorship curve with very low levels of juvenile mortality and high survivorship rate. They insist that reducing threats to adults is more important than protective juveniles. Are they correct

Elephants and Classic Type I Survivorship Curve

The conservation biologist is correct.

Explanation:

Classic type 1 survivorship curve means that mortality of elephants increases as they age, and their fecundity (or fertility) decreases as they age.  Therefore, reducing the threats to adults should be more important than protecting the younger elephants.  The younger elephants have higher rates of survival and fecundity than their older parents.

osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) refers to a congenital ailment of bones. in the condition, the bones become brittle or fragile. this ailment is a general result of the defect or mutations in the genes (colia1 or colia2). this mutation results in imperfect collagen formation either in quantity or quality wise.  

there are eight kinds of oi defects, and each kind varies with certain distinctions in symptoms. the usual symptoms include frequent bone fractures, loss of hearing in infants, protruding eyes, discoloration of the white in the eyes, respiratory issues, loosening of the joints, short stature, and other symptoms.
