Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A species that can survive in a variety of ecological niches is known as a generalized species. Generalized species are able to adapt to a wide range of habitats and environmental conditions, and therefore have a greater chance of survival in the face of changing conditions or disturbances. Specialized species, on the other hand, are adapted to a specific niche and may be more vulnerable to changes in their environment. Ecological and niche species are not commonly used terms in ecology.
