| semelparous and iteroparous | There are two reproductive patterns |
| semelparous | reproduce in one episode then die |
| iteroparous | reproduce repeatedly |
| kohort | a group of individuals born at the same time - same age group |
| iteroparous | redwood is semelparous or iteroparous |
| r-selected | individuals reproduce at an early age, semelparous, have large clutch sizes |
| k-selected | reproduce later, iteroparous, have fewer offspring, parental care |
