A species that migrates seasonally is more vulnerable to extinction than a sedentary species that does not migrate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seasonal migration adds an extra layer of risk to a species, as it must travel long distances and face various obstacles such as changing climates, loss of stopover habitats, and encounters with predators or other dangers along the way. This can lead to population declines and increased vulnerability to extinction. In contrast, sedentary species that do not migrate can remain in a stable habitat and avoid these risks.
