K-selected
|
|
|
r-selected

|
|
|
w-Selected

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -R-selected species are influenced heavily by intrinsic growth rates ("r"), or the maximum population growth rate, and exhibit large increases followed by large decreases in population numbers. K-selected species are controlled more by carrying capacity ("K") and tend to display more stable populations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species described as “r-strategist” have a survival strategy of producing large numbers of offspring, a short life expectancy, and typically smaller body sizes. Examples include mice, locusts, and frogs. These species survive by producing lots of offspring, since many individuals don’t survive to adulthood.
