    Bald eagles, whales, parrots, elephants are K-selected species as they are large, live long lives and have few offspring that require extensive parental care. Mice, bacteria, grasses, diatoms, grasshoppers, rabbits are r-selected species as they reproduce rapidly, mature quickly, and have many offspring but provide little parental care. During the Neolithic revolution, human population increased due to the development of agriculture which provided a more stable food source. The industrial revolution led to a population increase because of improved public health, medicine, and food production which lowered mortality rates. The medical revolution in the 1800s caused another population increase through discoveries like vaccines and antibiotics that reduced disease and increased lifesp
