Introduction: The life history adaptation of a species depends on their carrying capacity, and the availability of the resources, some species maintain a stable population near the carrying capacity while the other may be below carrying capacity. The populations are termed K-selected when the population lies near its carrying capacity, while below carrying capacity is known as r-selected.
