Students have asked these similar questions
What kinds of characteristics make species especially likely to go extinct?
Do you think generalist or specialized species would be better able to adapt and avoid extinction if the environment changed rapidly, for example, as a result of forced climate change? Why?
What characteristics make some species more vulnerable to extinction, while others seem to thrive despite changes in their surroundings?
