Deer are K-strategists because they are large mammals that have multiple birth events, nurture their young, they have long lives, and display a type 1 survivorship curve. They try to get enough of their species into the environment until equilibrium is reached. Realistically this is never reached because of various environmental factors such as predation and climate change.
type 1
r-strategists are species that can grow and reproduce fast to increase their population. k-strategists are species that grow and reproduce more slower than the r-strategists do.

Woodpeckers are K strategists
r-strategists; their environment is rapidly changing.
The carrying capacity affects k-strategists because their population reaches equilibrium at the carrying capacity and they experience a carrying capacity that changes little from year to year.
The deer population has grown tremendously.
Deer type animal were not introduce with minor exception. There are many animals in the deer family from whitetail to tiny deer of Africa. What are considered exotics deer from other countries not native to the host country is to provide a controlled hunting population for the people of that country. I many place deer were re introduce back to a place where the population were all destroyed IE reintroduction of elk in Ky and Ar.
Yes ants are k-strategists. K-strategists have few offspring, have a long life span and nurtures its offspring. R- strategists in contrast have many offspring and do not nurture them.
Chickens are considered r-strategists. They are known for high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and minimal parental care, all characteristic of r-strategists.
