Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

K-selected populations have adapted to stable and predictable environments with limited resources. They exhibit a slow life history strategy, which includes a late age of first reproduction, longer lifespan, and parental care, such as protecting and providing food for offspring. This strategy allows for the production of fewer, but better-quality offspring that have higher chances of survival in a competitive environment. Short lifespan, high mortality rate, and little to no parental care are characteristics of r-selected populations, which are adapted to unpredictable and variable environments with abundant resources.
