R-Strategist

R-Strategist are species whose population is governed by their biotic potential, they live in unstable environments and produce many offspring at once to increase chances of survival for the species.

Mice, rabbits, weeds, and bacteria are all examples of r-strategist because of their short life expectancy and high offspring count.
