habitat specialization

Habitat specialization refers to how certain plants or animals adapt to thrive in specific environments. These species have unique features or behaviors that allow them to survive and reproduce in their chosen habitats, like a particular type of forest, desert, or aquatic ecosystem. While this specialization can lead to great success in those environments, it also makes them vulnerable to changes, such as habitat loss or climate change, because they may struggle to survive elsewhere. Examples include certain frogs that live only in a specific type of wetland or butterflies that require particular plants to feed on.
