Type of iteroparity

Seasonal iteroparity- Many species, such as birds or mammals, or temperate forest trees, have distinct breeding seasons Continuous iteroparity- individuals reproduce repeatedly and at any time of the year.

If survival of juveniles is very poor and unpredictable but adult are more likely to survive - Selection favors repeated reproduction and long reproductive life.

k-selected species

Stable populations adapted to exist at or near the carrying capacity, K

Grow slowly and reach reproductive age late, having to devote much energy to growth and maintenance

K-selected species like a tree grows large and outcompeting  other  species

Such trees have a long-life span and produce seeds repeatedly when mature

These seeds are bigger

Nonrandom matting
