Q1. The pressure reading over the brachial artery is a very close representation of the true blood pressure; however where would you have to place a pressure measuring device to get the true blood pressure?
Q2. Population ecologists have assumed that populations of species with very high reproductive rates, those with offspring sometimes numbering in the millions per female, must have a type three survivorship curve even though very few survivorship data exists for such species. Why is this reasonable assumption? What is the likely relationship between reproductive rate and pattern of survival?
