  3. formula • N -----population, • r----- the maximum growth rate, • K----- the carrying capacity of the local environment, • dN/dt-----the derivative of N with respect to time t

  4. DEFINITION • r-strategists: The focus upon either increased quantity of offspring at the expense of individual parental investment high r, low K • K-strategists: Reduced quantity of offspring with a corresponding increased parental investment low r, high K
