Introduction:
There are two evolutionary strategies- one is R strategy and another is K-strategy. R-strategists organisms are found in an unstable environment, are smaller in size, have a large number of offspring, and attain maturity at an early stage. On the other hand, K-strategists organisms are found in stable environment, are larger in size, produce few numbers of offspring, and attain late maturity. Recovery of these organisms is more difficult than the recovery of R-strategist animals.
