K-selected species are present in environments that are predictable and where resources aren't necessarily fought over.
A k-selected species will produce less frequently and with few children than an R (or S) selected species. It's the concept of quality over quantity.
K-selected species are typically bigger, take longer to reach maturity, and live longer.

Evolution.
Species can be classified based on their physical characteristics (morphology), genetic makeup (DNA), and evolutionary relationships (phylogeny).
Derived characteristics are typically more diagnostic and informative for understanding the evolutionary relationships among organisms because they reflect recent changes and adaptations. Ancestral characteristics may be shared among distantly related species and therefore can be less useful for determining evolutionary relationships. Derived characteristics provide a clearer picture of how species are related and have evolved from a common ancestor.
The main difference between the typological species concept and the morphological species concept is that the typological species concept classifies organisms that share characteristics that set them apart from others, whereas the morphological species concept classifies them as the same species if they appear identical.
Species characteristics are traits shared by all members of a species, such as genetic makeup, reproductive strategy, and physical appearance. Individual characteristics vary among members of the same species and can include unique traits like behavior, size, age, and health status.
Behavioral and physiological adaptations are two characteristics of generalist species. A generalist species can adapt to different environments and resources. Animals that are omnivores are often generalists species.
Organisms in the same species have the most characteristics in common, as they are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
Characteristics used to classify a species include physical traits, genetic differences, behavior, habitat, and evolutionary history. Scientists often use a combination of these characteristics to determine how species are related and place them into taxonomic groups.
Bacterial strains are variations within a species that have different genetic makeup and characteristics, while bacterial species are distinct groups of strains that share similar genetic traits and characteristics.
A species is a group of individuals that share the same characteristics. Humans are one kind of species. There are many main species and subspecies as well.
An ecomorph is a group of species that share similar ecological adaptations and physical characteristics to thrive in a specific environment. In contrast, a species refers to a single type of organism with its own unique set of adaptations and characteristics.
Scientists use ancestors and DNA to group species.
These characteristics of organisms are called adaptions.
The binomial nomenclature system is used to assign two names to species based on their characteristics.
It depends on the characteristics. For example, they could be put into different species if they lived in different habitats.
A microbial species refers to a group of microorganisms that share similar characteristics and can reproduce with each other, while a strain is a subgroup within a species that has specific genetic differences or characteristics. Strains are like different variations or subtypes of a species.
