Species can have broad niches in one dimension but narrow niches in another, which means that a big change for one species might be small for another species. Species may also tolerate some conditions outside their niches, but only for a short period.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Species can move to areas with suitable habitat. Species have different capacities to disperse. Some kinds of landscape (e.g. hilly ones) can make it easier to disperse.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Species can evolve (adapt) to be able to tolerate the change. Evolution is slow, and the rate depends on how much genetic variation there is and some other things.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Species can go extinct if they can&#8217;t tolerate, migrate or adapt. Chance also plays a part because species usually become rare before they go extinct.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The future of life on earth really depends on which combination of the four ways each species follows!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"media\" src=\"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/eths101\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru_course\/idevices\/Icon_multimedia.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Environmental change<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>In this Learning Pathway, we ask the question: what happens to organisms if the environment changes.
