In biology, the top one is called K-strategy and the bottom one R-strategy.
Both are valid strategies.

But generally, K is better suited for highly developed, intelligent, cooperative and social animals.
R is better suited for animals that live alone in a hostile environment full of predators.

There's a message about the modern job market in here somewhere I guess.

Lol as someone from biomedical sciences I thought you were speaking about applications in the broad field of biology/biological sciences. I was so excited to ask you about what companies would accept an "R strategy" application because fuck this, even for a technical assistant job I need a fucking tailored cover letter every single time because otherwise my application doesn't even land on anyone's desk.

In my experience bio-med jobs are more about who you know until you can show them what you know.
