Selective Breeding
selective breeding
Selective breeding. It's how all traditional domesticated crops and animals were modified from their wild precursors. Think wolf -> dog.
Selective breeding takes place when animals are selected to mate so that their desirable traits can be combined in their offspring.
when an animal is selected based on its offspring, the selection method is by what
Vultures are k-selected organisms because they only have a few offspring, they take care of their offspring, and they do not reproduce quickly.
Selective breeding is where you breed animals or plants in such a way as to increase the desirable traits, or characteristics. By specifically selecting breeding partners with high levels of these desirable traits, the likelihood of the offspring having these traits increases. Over several generations, these desirable traits become more and more profound. For example, if farmers take only the best sheep for breeding, then they can be more assured that future generations of sheep will have the same or even improved characteristics. Selective breeding also works in a similar way when developing new crops, or the breeding of dogs for example. Its all about human intervention, where the breeding partners are chosen (or selected) by people.

Breeding is just breeding any pair of parents together to get offspring, whereas selected breeding is choosing a certain set of parents and targeting a few specific traits you want the offspring to have, such as fur length, coloration, or body shape.
K-selected species are present in environments that are predictable and where resources aren't necessarily fought over. A k-selected species will produce less frequently and with few children than an R (or S) selected species. It's the concept of quality over quantity. K-selected species are typically bigger, take longer to reach maturity, and live longer.
