Generally, r-selected organisms exhibit:
long development time to maturity, but small body size
short life spans and early maturity
long life spans and extended parental care of offspring
large body size and extended parental care of offspring
One reason that the realized niche and fundamental niche are not typically the same is:
species diversity
reproductive potential
extinction event
limiting resources
Regular burns in an ecosystem
Increases the incidence of diseases and pests
Was not a land management strategy utilized by Native Americans
Kill all of the native plants, allowing non-native plants to take over
Suppress the growth of competitive dominant plants, allowing for r-selected species to grow, thereby increasing biodiversity
