This video turns to how different reproductive strategies affect the welfare of animals. Unfortunately, the reproductive strategy that is most prevalent, r-selection, is also the one that results in the most suffering. Animals who are r-selected have large numbers of offspring and invest very little resources in each one. This unfortunately means that almost all of these animals will die painfully before reaching adulthood.

This is part of module 1 of our course about wild animal suffering. In this course, you'll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild. Find out what the lives of the most numerous animals — invertebrates — are actually like and get an overview of evidence of their sentience (consciousness). Hear what the contemporary debates in animal ethics are and how they relate to showing moral consideration for nonhuman animals. Find out about a proposed field of research called welfare biology, the study of the wellbeing of animals living in the wild.
