R-Strategy
R-Strategy, or r-selection, is a reproductive strategy observed in certain species where organisms produce a large number of offspring with relatively low parental investment. This approach is often seen in species like insects and fish, which can quickly populate an environment. The idea is that, while many offspring may not survive, the sheer number increases the chances that some will thrive and reproduce.
R-strategists typically thrive in unstable or unpredictable environments where resources are abundant but may fluctuate. This strategy contrasts with K-Strategy, where organisms invest more time and resources into raising fewer offspring, ensuring higher survival rates. R-strategists prioritize quantity over quality in their reproductive approach.
