Physiological survivorship curves are demonstrated by large mammals and involve a high general survivorship throughout adulthood until later in life. Ecological survivorship curves are demonstrated by many bird species and involve a constant risk of mortality at all ages. Maturational survivorship curves are demonstrated by many seed plants and involve low survivorship during childhood and higher survivorship after maturity.
