K
Growth Pattern - large body, long juvenile period; population grows exponentially and then stabilizes around a max value
Population Size - smaller, but stable
Environment - stable, diverse ecology
Reproductive strategy - mate choice, pair bonds, large investment, parental care, few offspring
Characteristics of offspring - not sure what this means. They're born more dependent on the parents and stay that way longer; later onset of repro maturity
Examples - elephants, humans, oak trees
R
Growth Pattern - small body, rapid maturation; population grows exponentially then crashes
Population Size - large, but rapid fluctuation
Environment - unstable, recently disrupted, low diversity, low resources
Reproductive strategy - maximize number of offspring, low parental investment, random mating
Characteristics of offspring - independent right away, early reproductive maturity, large numbers
Examples - weeds, mosquitos, mice
Chickens are considered r-strategists. They are known for high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and minimal parental care, all characteristic of r-strategists.
R-selected. They produce many offspring, are weak competitors in crowded niches, and are usually of small body size. There are several species of lizard (such as the komodo dragon) that could qualify as k-strategists within their environment.
Spiders are typically considered r-strategists due to their high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and large numbers of offspring. They invest less energy in individual offspring and prioritize quantity over quality in terms of reproduction. This strategy allows them to quickly populate new environments and adapt to changing conditions.
Well, honey, ants are more of an R-strategist species. They reproduce like there's no tomorrow, pumping out offspring left and right without much regard for the individual babies. They're all about quantity over quality, just like a good old-fashioned factory production line.
The typical working life for a K-9 dog in law enforcement is around 6 to 8 years. After this time, they usually retire and can be adopted by their handler or another appropriate caregiver for their retirement years.
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.
Woodpeckers are K strategists
r-strategists; their environment is rapidly changing.
Chickens are considered r-strategists. They are known for high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and minimal parental care, all characteristic of r-strategists.
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.
k-Strategist but act like r-Strategists in many such as expansion.
type 1
K strategists are species that have small populations and have a stable environment. R strategists are species that have large populations that are determined by their maximum reproductive capacity.
Species of redwood trees and whales are K-strategists.
only retards ask that question you as.
K-strategists (also called K-selected species) are species whose populations hover at the carrying capacity of their environment. K-strategists are apt to live in areas with relatively stable biological communities such as climax forests.
Flamingos are K-strategists
