Discrete Reproduction Discrete breeding seasons, only reproducing for part of the year. Geometric Growth. Example: Sheep
Define K Carrying Capacity. (The maximum number of species a habitat can contain without using up all the resources)
R-Selected Species HIGH RATE OF INCREASE Early maturity Small body size High reproductive output Example: Pests
K-Selected Species LOW RATE OF INCREASE Low maturity Large body size Low reproductive output Have very stable populations Example: Whales
What is important to note about K- and R- Selected Species? Continuum over binary split. Organisms sometimes show/share traits of both
