K-selected species are organisms that have a low reproductive rate, mature slowly, and invest a lot of energy in raising their few offspring. They typically live longer lives and occupy stable environments.
Organisms with high reproductive rates, short lifespans, and little investment in individual offspring.
Carrying capacity: The maximum population size that an environment can sustainably support.
Life history strategy: The overall pattern of an organism's life cycle, including factors such as reproduction timing and investment in offspring.
