Study Notes
Species Extinction and Adaptation to Environmental Changes
- The relationship between species extinction and the failure of populations to adapt to abrupt changes in the environment is that species extinction is a consequence of populations failing to adapt to such changes.
Failure of Populations to Adapt
- The main reason why populations of organisms fail to adapt to abrupt changes in the environment is that they are unable to evolve quickly enough to respond to the changes.
Consequences of Population Failure to Adapt
- The main consequence of populations failing to adapt to abrupt changes in the environment is species extinction.
- Other consequences include a decline in biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and loss of ecosystem services.
Factors Contributing to Population Failure to Adapt
- Factors that can contribute to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt to abrupt changes in the environment include genetic limitations, limited gene flow, and Allee effects.
- However, it is not a factor that a species is well-adapted to its current environment, as this does not guarantee its ability to adapt to abrupt changes.
