Grasshoppers are R-selected organisms. R-selected organisms are said to have a high ability to reproduce. They should also have a small body size, early maturity, a short generation time, and a wide offspring dispersion.
Vultures are k-selected organisms because they only have a few offspring, they take care of their offspring, and they do not reproduce quickly.
frogs are r-selected because they produce many offspring but only a few of them survive. There is no parental investment and they become reproductively active early in their life cycle.

Those are reproductive strategies that identify certain species. R-selected are those that reproduce rapidly and produce a lot of progeny; bacteria are an example. K-selected are those that reproduce very slowly and are slow to mature; humans are a k-selected species. Population density is the number of organisms per unit area. Some organisms don' t like to be crowded, so the density can affect the population size. Also, some limiting factors are density-dependent, like food or living space.
k selected
Nektonic organisms are those that swim freely, such as fish and whales.
Yes.
K selected
r-selected organisms come in first. They are more adapted to habitats with less competition and unrestricted supply of resources.
R- Selected species have high population densities while k-selected species have lower population densities
