R and K Selection
R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.

Chart 5: Mushroom Plots
Another ecologist uses a different method to estimate the number of mushrooms in a forest. She plots a 10x10 area and randomly
chooses 5 spots, where she counts the number of mushrooms in the plots and records them on the grid.
