Exploring Reproductive Strategies in the Animal Kingdom

The video explores reproductive strategies in the animal kingdom, focusing on r and K selection. It explains how species adapt their reproductive strategies to maximize offspring survival. K-strategists, like humans and elephants, invest in fewer offspring with longer development, while r-strategists, like insects and rodents, produce many offspring with shorter development. The video discusses environmental factors influencing these strategies and highlights the evolutionary trade-offs involved.

How does the environment influence the success of K and r reproductive strategies?
