Big Idea 4

20. R-Strategist - An r-strategist is an organism that grows quickly, reproduces often, reproduces numerously, and depends on less parental care. Mice are a good example of this, because mice will be born with a large number of siblings, are able to reproduce younger than k-strategists, and will reproduce more often than k-strategists, which is why mice populations grow rapidly, but the individuals die younger than k-strategists.
