Question

which of these is an advantage of k - selected species in stable (non - changing) environments? high parental care of offspring huge amounts of offspring small body sizes overall little to no care of offspring

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

K-selected species are characterized by traits such as high parental care, longer life spans, and fewer offspring. In stable environments, these traits are advantageous as they ensure the survival and success of the offspring. High parental care increases the chances of offspring survival, which is beneficial in non - changing environments where resources are relatively stable. Species with huge amounts of offspring (more typical of r - selected species) may not need high parental care in unstable environments but in stable ones, quality (through care) is more important. Small body sizes are not a defining advantage of K - selected species in stable environments. Little to no care of offspring is more associated with r - selected species which are adapted to unstable environments.

Answer:

high parental care of offspring
