Actually, evolution occurs when the environment changes and forces an organism to adapt. If an organism can't adapt, it goes extinct. This is why adaptable, generalist species often survive longer than specialized ones.

The process by which a species passes out of existence is known as?

extinction. Extinction occurs when a species cannot adapt to changing environmental conditions or when human activities lead to their decline and eventual disappearance.


How would the ecosystem's carrying capacity for a species change if the species cannot adapt to changes of habitat?

If a species cannot adapt to changes in its habitat, the ecosystem's carrying capacity for that species would likely decrease. This decline occurs because the species may struggle to find food, shelter, or reproduce effectively in altered conditions. As resources become limited or unsuitable, the population may decline, pushing it closer to extinction. Ultimately, the carrying capacity is determined by the species' ability to thrive within the available resources and environmental conditions.


What adaptations reduce completion among species?

Adaptations can reduce completion among species because certain adjustments must be made in order to survive. Animals that cannot adapt to change will not flourish.


How is extinction of a species related to its inability to adapt to its environment?

A species who cannot adapt to its environment, cannot survive. Adaptations have kept species from being extinct. Adaptations can include, changes in diet, development of protection such as fur coats against temperature, and even skin color changes to act as camouflage from predators.
