D)non-migratory

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Species with large home ranges require more resources and have a higher risk of habitat loss or fragmentation, making them more vulnerable to extinction. Short life span (A) may lead to faster turnover in populations but does not necessarily make a species vulnerable to extinction. Habitat generalists (C) can often adapt to different environments, making them less vulnerable to extinction. Non-migratory (D) species may be vulnerable if their habitat is threatened, but migratory species may also face threats during their seasonal movements.
