If you were a conservation biologist in charge of the recovery plans for an endangered species, which would you prefer to find within that species—an even distribution of age classes or a pyramid-shaped age distribution? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
The even distribution would suggest a stable population, which is good, but the pyramidshaped
age distribution would suggest a population that has a capacity to grow in the future,
which would be even better for an endangered species.
