K-Strategy
K-Strategy refers to a reproductive strategy observed in some species, particularly in ecology. It is characterized by producing fewer offspring but investing significant time and resources into raising them. This approach often leads to higher survival rates for the young, as parents provide care and protection, ensuring that the offspring reach maturity.
Species that exhibit K-Strategy typically thrive in stable environments where competition for resources is high. Examples include humans, elephants, and whales. These organisms tend to have longer lifespans and delayed reproduction, focusing on quality over quantity in their reproductive success.
