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
