Would you expect endangered species to be more frequently generalists or specialists?

Endangered species are typically more likely to be specialists rather than generalists. Specialists have narrow ecological niches and specific habitat or dietary requirements, making them more vulnerable to changes in their environment, such as habitat loss or climate change. In contrast, generalists can adapt to a wider range of conditions and food sources, which may help them survive in changing ecosystems. Therefore, the fragility of specialists contributes to their higher risk of endangerment.
