R-selected species would exhibit?
1. Type 1 survival curve
2. External fertilization
3. Eutherian development
4. Viviparity
R-selected species would exhibit (2) External fertilization.
External Fertilization is the process where the fertilization of sperm and egg takes place outside. In external fertilization the number of offsprings are many and the mother has no need to carry the offspring in their wombs.
They exhibit Type III survivorship curve where the surviving ability is much lesser at early stage but once they survive can live longer.
They do not exhibit Eutherian or vivparity.
