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? also, sorry if this is the wrong subject, it was hard to find a fitting one for environmental science.

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.

Hello there!

It would be better to be an r-selected species if the water resources in an area were to become more limited because they tend to reproduce faster than other animals

Hope this helps! :)

You use the atomic number to find out how many protons and neutrons there are in the atom. you use the atomic mass to find out how many protons and electrons there are in the atom. 

Answer it was we, the the whole people, who formed the union. and we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them: not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people- women as well as men.
