Which of the following statements about the evolution of life histories is correct?

A) Unstable environments with unlimited resources favor r-selected populations.

B) K-selected populations are most often found in environments where density-independent factors are important regulators of population size.

C) Most populations have both r- and K-selected characteristics that vary under different environmental conditions.

D) The reproductive efforts of r-selected populations are directed at producing just a few offspring with good competitive abilities.

Which of the following is an incorrect statement about the regulation of populations?

A) The logistic equation reflects the effect of density independent factors, which can ultimately stabilize populations around the carrying capacity.

B) Density-independent factors have an increasingly greater effect as a population’s density increases.

C) High densities in a population may cause physiological changes that inhibit reproduction.

D) Because of the overlapping nature of population-regulating factors, it is often difficult to precisely determine their cause-and-effect relationships.
