Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

K-selected species have a lower reproductive rate, longer lifespan, and higher investment in the offspring, which means their population is more likely to stabilize closer to the carrying capacity of their environment compared to r-selected species. R-selected species have a higher reproductive rate, shorter lifespan, and lower investment in their offspring, which tends to result in population fluctuations that oscillate around the carrying capacity of their environment.
