CONT

Les stratèges r possèdent par définition un potentiel biotique élevé, une croissance rapide, une faible longévité, des populations se renouvelant vite et soumises à de fortes fluctuations. Chez les animaux, divers zooplanctons en milieu aquatique, les insectes dans de fréquents cas, de nombreuses espèces d'oiseaux, beaucoup de rongeurs (campagnols, lemmings, etc.) constituent des stratèges r.
