A K strategist or K species are animals with few, and often large offspring. The nurture and protect their young, reproduce later in life, live long, and population size is stable and near carrying capacity. Examples are elephants, humans, etc...
A R strategist is something like insects and weeds.
Flamingos are K-strategists
no it is a k-strategist
Most organisms lie on a continuum between r-strategists and K-strategists, and the octopus is one of those. The octopus lays a lot of eggs, typical of an r-strategist, but also invests parental care into its offspring, typical of a K-strategist.
R-strategist species have many offspring with little parental care, while K-strategist species have fewer offspring with more parental care.
Bees are not R-strategist. Bees are considered to be K-strategist because they live in stable environments and produce few offspring.
k-Strategist but act like r-Strategists in many such as expansion.
Yes, they are. K-strategists nurture their young, have a small amount of babies with a high survival rate.
The elephants are k-strategist particular iteroparous~Daniel oyeniran
R-strategist species typically have high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and produce many offspring with little parental care. They prioritize quantity over quality in reproduction. In contrast, k-strategist species have lower reproductive rates, longer lifespans, and invest more time and resources in raising fewer offspring with higher chances of survival. They prioritize quality over quantity in reproduction.
He's quite the little strategist.
Produce few offspring Reproduce later in life Have longer life spans Mature slower Examples: humans, elephants, mammals
An r-strategist is a species that prioritizes high reproductive rates in unstable or unpredictable environments. They typically produce many offspring with minimal parental care, relying on quantity over quality to increase their chances of survival and reproductive success. Examples include insects and small rodents.
