Reproductive strategies
Reproductive strategies are the different ways species ensure their genes are passed to the next generation. Some produce many offspring quickly, investing little in each (like fish or insects), maximizing numbers but with lower chances of individual survival. Others invest heavily in fewer offspring, offering more care and resources (like humans or elephants), increasing their survival odds. These strategies adapt to environmental conditions and survival challenges, balancing quantity and quality of offspring to maximize reproductive success in different circumstances.
