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.
