An r-selected species reproduces much faster than K-selected species.
r-selected species focuses on maturing and reproducing quickly. r-selected species will probably reproduce when the water supply is there for the short period of time; thus, increasing the chance of the r-selected species of surviving.
K-selected species, on the other hand, focus on raising their young and reproduce later. Since the K-selected species take long to mature before reproducing, water supply may run out before they have a chance of fully maturing; thus, K-selected species have a lower chance of survival.
Hope this helps.
