Read the passage and choose the best answer
The reasons for the extinction of a species
and for the rapid rates of change in our
environment are currently the focus of
much scientific research An individual
(5) species' susceptibility to extinction
depends on at least two things: the taxon (the
bio- logical group—kingdom, phylum, class,
order, family, or genus) to which a species
belongs, and the overall rate of environ-
(10) mental change Fossil evidence shows
that more mammals and birds become extinct
than do mollusks or insects Studies of the
extinction of the dinosaurs and other rep-
tiles during the Cretaceous Period show that a
(15) changing environment affects different tаха
in different ways Some may be dramatically
affected, others less so
The best way to answer the question of
what causes an extinction is to combine
(20)fields of inquiry and a variety of viewpoints
Using the fossil record and historical documentation, the different rates of the extinction of various taxa and different responses
to environmental change can be detected Then
(25) the evolutionary development of the
different species can be compared, and traits that
may be disadvantageous can be singled out
Finally, researchers can use mathematical formulae to determine whether a population (30) is likely to adapt itself to the changing environment or disappear Hopefully, as more of this information is collected, specialists
in different fields— e.g physiological and behavioral ecology, population ecology, 35) community ecology, evolutionary biology and systematics, biogeography, and pale biology
— will work together to make predictions about the broader changes that might occur in the ecosystem.
