r-selected and K-selected population growth strategies | High school biology | Khan Academy

r and K are two extremes for a range of population growth strategies. K-selected species, like elephants, are typically larger, live longer, and produce fewer offspring. Conversely, r-selected species, such as frogs, are generally smaller, have shorter lifespans, and produce a larger number of offspring. These strategies are shaped by various factors, including environmental conditions and the level of competition for resources.
