Refer to the Figure

question 25

Essay

Refer to the figure.

- The figure is based on data from a study of the body size and reproductive output of individual females of two different species (species 1 and species 2) over time. Each figure illustrates the growth and reproduction of each individual over its life span. Suppose that the patterns in the figures stay as they are, but that the number of eggs are instead the number of seeds of different plant species. If smaller individuals produce smaller seeds, which species would you expect to have higher dispersal capabilities? Explain your reasoning.
