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.
R-strategists are organisms that produce a large number of offspring with relatively low parental investment, allowing for rapid population growth in unstable environments. Examples include insects and many fish species. In contrast, K-strategists invest more time and resources into raising fewer offspring, resulting in higher survival rates, and are typically found in stable environments. Mammals and birds are common examples of K-strategists.
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.
The only type of deer found on Mauritius island is the introduced species known as the Axis deer, or chital (Axis axis). Originally from the Indian subcontinent, these deer were brought to the island in the 18th century for hunting purposes. They have adapted to the local environment, and their population has grown, impacting local ecosystems. There are no native deer species on Mauritius.
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.
