Maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called _______ species

Biology
1 answer:
marishachu [46]1 year ago

Animal species that exhibit long gestation periods, give birth to relatively large offspring, and maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called K-selected species.

In nature, a given habitat contains sufficient resources such as food, water, etc. to support a maximum possible number of biological species, beyond which no further growth is possible. It is termed as nature's carrying capacity for that species in the habitat.

MacArthur and Wilson proposed that there are two life-history strategies i.e. K-selected and r-selected. K-selected species exhibit a proportionately stable population that gives rise to a low number of offspring which tend to be very large. For example the African elephant is included among K-selected species.

Mnenie [13.5K]
Looking at the food chain & relationships between organisms can give you a good idea of theoretical cause and effects.

For example:

Starfish are the natural predators of the mussel. If the starfish, that eat the mussels, were to be taken out of the picture: there would most likely be a higher population of mussels.
