K and r strategies describe two different reproductive approaches. The K strategy involves producing few, large offspring that require significant parental investment. Organisms using this strategy have longer lifespans and reproduce multiple times. The r strategy involves producing many small offspring with little parental care, relying on producing large numbers to overcome high offspring mortality rates from unstable environments.

K Strategy r Strategy Few, large expensive (more energy spent) offspring. Longer life expectancy with organisms reaching relative maximum lifespan often, late blooming, parental nurturing during development. Organisms may reproduce more than once during their lifetime. High competition, affected by density- dependent factors e.g. disease Live in established or stable environments Shape of graph:
K
Many, small cheap (very little energy spent on) offspring Short life expectancy, most offspring die at an early age, with just a few surviving and reproducing only once during their lifetime Low levels of competition during the exponential phase, live in unstable, changing environments, affected by density- independent factors e.g. floods, earthquakes, fires Shape of graph:
