For example, the introduction of non-native invasive species into new habitats and climate change highlight two ways in which humans are altering the environment experienced by other species. Some species will probably adapt to these changes, while others may not. Considering the processes of mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift, comment on the likelihood of adaptation to environmental change for species that have small population sizes versus species with large population sizes.
