K-Selection

K-Selection (My Family)

The "r/K selection (opportunistic/equilibrium) theory relates to the selection of combinations of traits in an organism that trade off between quantity and quality of offspring". K-strategists focus on having less offspring to have more parental investment, meaning they'll have a higher chance to survive until adulthood. Each type varies depending on what suits an environment the best. K-selection is the best option when trying to compete for limited resources. They also tend to grow in population almost close to the maximum capacity.
