Species That Will Most Likely Prosper as Projected Climate Change

Question

Species that will most likely prosper as projected climate change occurs will
A) have narrow tolerances and can live in specialized environments.
B) have broad tolerances and can live in a variety of habitats.
C) live in very stable environments.
D) live only if they form mutualistic relationships with other organisms.

Accepted Answer

Species with broad tolerances and the ability to adapt to various habitats are more likely to survive and prosper in the face of climate change. This is because they can move to new areas and find suitable habitats as their previous habitats become unsuitable. Species with narrow tolerances are more likely to become extinct because they cannot adapt quickly enough to the changing environmental conditions.
