Opportunistic species are organisms that thrive in unstable or changing environments, taking advantage of available resources and conditions to grow and reproduce quickly. They often have high reproductive rates, short life cycles, and can colonize new areas rapidly. These species are typically the first to occupy disturbed habitats, contributing to ecological succession. Examples include certain weeds, bacteria, and some insects.
