Which of the following best describes the link between survivorship curves and r-selected species?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R-selected species are known for their high reproductive rate that results in many offspring. They have a Type III survivorship curve, which means they have low survivorship at early ages but high survivorship at later ages. This is because the offspring are not well-developed and require extensive care and protection from parents or other adults, resulting in high mortality early in life. However, those few individuals that do survive can reproduce quickly and produce many offspring to increase the chances of passing on their genes.
