If a group of ________ species lived together in a small area, the carrying capacity of that area would probably collapse quickly.

R-strategist species. These species are those who reproduce quickly and have lots of offspring. Their rapid population growth would overwhelm the carrying capacity.

Hope this helps have a very awesome day

Answer:

The correct answer is k-selected species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike the r-selected species, the size of the population of K-selected species is fairly the same with time. The r-selected species generally lies below the carrying capacity, and the size of the population is density-independent. On the other hand, the K-selected species are generally at or close to the carrying capacity and the size of the population is density-dependent.
