K-strategists typically exhibit a type I survivorship pattern, characterized by high survival rates of the young and middle-aged and a high mortality rate only for older individuals. This is because K-strategists invest heavily in fewer offspring, providing care and ensuring their survival. On the other hand, r-strategists are associated with a type III survivorship pattern, where there is a high mortality rate at the early stages of life due to producing a large number of offspring with minimal investment in each, leading to only a few surviving to adulthood.
