Why do some species living at high latitudes and high altitudes tend to be ecological generalists while tose living in the tropics tend to be ecological specialists?

there are less resources available at high altitudes, so they have to generalize because they need to eat whatever they can to stay alive. On the other hand, those living in the tropics have a wide variety of other species living with it and a whole lot more resources. Therefore, they can specialize to eat one thing (helps with keeping them alive and helps with sharing the resources with everyone else if they only take one thing)

Why do upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west?
High altitudes winds at mid-latitudes blow from the west because they are influenced by the earth rotation. But it depends on the scale and time you are talking about.
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
What zone on earth has the most variation between seasons equatorial latitudes subtropical latitudes intermediate latitudes polar latitudes or all have an equal amount of change between seasons?
latitude
Why equator is ideal basis for all latitudes?
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.

Which latitude does precipation form?
Precipitation forms at all latitudes (and altitudes).
How does altitudes differ from latitudes?
altitude is your elevation. latitude is your distance north or south in comparison to the equator.

Amritsar and Shimla have the same latitudes but Shimla is more cooler than Amritsar because?
because they both have different altitudes...
Where does glaciation form?
Glaciation may form anywhere on Earth. However, it is most common in higher latitudes and on land where ice is more readily formed. Alpine glaciers occur at high altitudes (e.g. mountain peaks) and are common at all latitudes.
What sphere in sky aeroplanes travels?
Stratosphere Commercial airliners typically cruise at altitudes of 9-12 km (30,000-39,000 ft) in temperate latitudes (in the lower reaches of the stratosphere)
What is an effect in an increase of ocean temperature?
increased precipitation
Where do coniferous forest grow?
Where There is snow.
Are caves cold or warm?
Caves tend to maintain a more constant temperature, usually around 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit (10-16 degrees Celsius), regardless of the external weather conditions. This generally feels cool to humans, but the exact temperature can vary depending on the location and depth of the cave.
How many latitudes are there in total?
there are 181 latitudes.90 latitudes above equator+90 latitudes below the equator +equator.90+90+1=181
All areas north of the Arctic Circle are known as the what latitudes?
high latitudes
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
