The typical characteristics of k-selected species are:
slower development
delayed reproduction
larger body size
longer life
poor dispersal
equilibrium species
's' shaped growth curve
This is compared to the typical characteristecs of r-selected species:
rapid development
rapid reproduction
short lived
numerous offspring
pioneer species
exponential growth with population crashes
Hope this helped :)
