Why are many Type III species found in relatively unstable environments, whereas many Type I species occupy fairly stable environments?
What will be an ideal response?
In unstable environments, life and death are often chance events. By producing huge numbers of inexpensive offspring (a feature of Type III species), organisms are more likely to have one or two of these survive. In stable environments, where many populations are at or near carrying capacity, an offspring that receives a lot of parental investment (a feature of Type I species) is more likely to be able to compete and do well.
