Information
Ecological parameter: r- K-strategyParameter group: life & body related parameters
Explanation:
The parameter describes the strategy of reproduction. r-strategists are species that have a high reproductive rate during reproduction using existing resources beyond their available capacity, while K-strategists remain at the limit of their capacity with the number of individuals, thus ensuring a smaller number of offspring with higher chances of survival.
