Life-table study with the springtail Folsomia candida ( Willem ) exposed to cadmium, chlorpyrifos and triphenyltin hydroxide

The life-history of an organism is its lifetime pattern of growth, differentiation, storage and reproduction (Begon et al., 1990). These characteristics together determine the population growth, and energy spent on each of these may vary depending on many environmental factors. A change in one of the environmental factors will therefore result in a response of the population and hence may change the occurrence of the species (Underwood, 1989)
