Why would it be better to be an r-selected species if the water resources in an area were to become more limited over a short period of time?

It would be better to be an R-selected species because they tend to reproduce faster then other animals, so if the water was limited having many offspring would increase the chance of continuing the species

R - selected species describes the group of species with very high reproductive capacity. Hence, R - selected species would find it easier to recover from the limited shortage of water or other disturbances than k - selected species.

  • R - selected species posses high reproductive capacity than k - selected species who only have a low reproductive rate.

  • The reproductive difference in these species means that r - selected species have greater chances of recovering from disturbances such as fire and limited resources in the ecosystem due to their size than k - selected species.

Therefore, the maximum reproductive capacity of r-selected organisms would make them capable of recovering from the limited water resources in the area.
