The meanings of r- and K-selection

Gregory D Parry. Oecologia. 1981 Mar.

Abstract

This paper catalogues several different dichotomies that have all been termed r- and K-selection. The status of the concept of r- and K-selection is discussed and a more restricted usage of the terms is recommended.
