Quizplus · Accepted Answer

r-selected species are characterized by having high reproductive rates and low levels of parental care. These traits give them an advantage in habitats that experience unpredictable disturbances such as fires, floods, or other natural disasters. This allows them to quickly colonize and take advantage of newly available resources. Examples of r-selected species include many types of insects, rodents, and some species of plants. They are typically not large-bodied or long-lived, and they do not offer considerable parental care to their offspring. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
