R-Strategist
 Growth Pattern - small body, rapid maturation; population grows exponentially then crashes 
 Population Size - large, but rapid fluctuation 
 Environment - unstable, recently disrupted, low diversity, low resources 
 Reproductive strategy - maximize number of offspring, low parental investment, random mating 
 Characteristics of offspring - independent right away, early reproductive maturity, large numbers 
 Examples - weeds, mosquitos, mice
