So here we have an example problem that wants us to complete the table down below by filling in the blanks, and notice that this table down below is comparing semelparity on the left-hand side to iteroparity on the right-hand side. And so, of course, recall from our last lesson video that organisms that exhibit the semelparity reproductive strategy will reproduce only once in their entire lifetime, producing many offspring, usually between 100 or 1000 offspring. And usually, most of the offspring will die before adulthood because those offspring are typically left to survive on their own and they don't get much parental care. And so an example of an organism that exhibits semelparity is this cicada that you can see here in this image. Now, on the other hand, organisms that exhibit the iteroparity reproductive strategy will reproduce repeatedly or multiple times throughout their lifetime, and they will typically produce fewer offspring at a time in comparison to organisms that exhibit semelparity.

And also, the offspring of organisms that exhibit iteroparity are usually more likely to survive to adulthood because those offspring may be cared for by their parents. Now, this parental care is certainly species-dependent, but, again, it tends to be the case for iteroparity more so than for semelparity. And so an example of an organism that exhibits iteroparity is this elephant that you can see here in this image. So that concludes this video, and I'll see you in our next one.
