Question

tend to have a stable population size near carrying capacity and are adapted to more specialized niches and stable environmental conditions. they occupy specialized niches and are strong competitors when needed. what kind of population growth rate do k - selected species typically have? no growth slow growth fluctuating growth rapid growth

Explanation:

K-selected species, like elephants shown in the image, have stable populations near carrying capacity. They invest more in fewer offspring (e.g., elephants have long gestation periods and few calves), which implies a slow growth rate as they focus on quality over quantity of offspring and adapting to stable environments.

Answer:

slow growth
