what are traits of opportunistic populations
Answers
Compare and contrast the traits and growth opportunistic versus equilibrium populations. Provide one example of each.Opportunistic species exhibit exponential growth. They are small with a short life span. They mature quickly and produce many offspring to whom they give little to no care to. Their population is large enough to survive an event that threatens to annihilate it. Dandelions are am example of an opportunistic species. Equilibrium populations exhibit a logistic growth. They are large with a long life span. They are slow to mature and have few offspring to whom they give more care and attention to. Their population is smaller and are more likely to become extinct. Mountain gorillas are an example of an equilibrium species.
