APES Midterm Review

Members of an r-selected species characteristically

• larger-bodied

• put energy into reproduction not survival

• good competitors

• are very protective of their offspring

The K-selection reproductive strategy maximizes survival of offspring by producing

• many offspring with low levels of parental care

• few offspring with low levels of parental care

• many offspring with high levels of parental care

• few offspring with high levels of parental care
