The key idea of r/K selection theory is that evolutionary pressures tend to
drive animals in one of two directions — towards quickly reproducing animals
who adopt as many niches as possible using simple strategies, and slowly
reproducing animals who are strong competitors in crowded niches and
invest lots of energy in their offspring.
