The T chart above highlights the differences between r and K selected species. As human impacts increase on a global scale, biodiversity is impacted by invasive species and extinction rates. Using the chart above, how would most invasive species and threatened (for extinction) species be classified?
A) Both species types would be classified as r-selected.
B) Both species types would be classified as K-selected.
C) Invasive species are usually classified as r-selected species while threatened species are usually classified as K-selected.
D) Invasive species are usually classified as K-selected species while threatened species are usually classified as r-selected.
