What two factors in an animal's range determine whether the species will become extinct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The size of an animal's range is important because a smaller range means a smaller population, which may be more vulnerable to threats. The geographic pattern of the range is also important because if the majority of the range is in a region where threats such as habitat loss or hunting are occurring, then the species is more likely to become extinct. Latitude and longitude do not necessarily impact the likelihood of extinction in the same way that range size and geographic pattern do. Genetics may also be a factor, but it is not one of the options given in the question.
