A benefit of a specialist species is that because the species has a more clearly defined niche, this reduces competition from other species. On the other hand, generalist species, by their nature, cannot realize as much resources from one niche, but instead find resources from many. Because other species can also be generalists, there is more ...
Human predation and habitat destruction has placed several mammal species at risk of extirpation or extinction. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources lists the conservation status of each species within the state with a rank of lowest, low, moderate, high, and highest concern.

Many species fall somewhere between generalist and specialist on the generalist-specialist range. Such species generally exhibit moderate environmental specialization, being neither pure generalists nor pure specialists, resulting in fluid changes that must be evaluated when categorizing species.
Its natural habitats are boreal forests, temperate forests, dry savanna, temperate shrubland, and temperate grassland. The bushy-tailed woodrat is the original "pack rat", the species in which the trading habit is most pronounced. It has a strong preference for shiny objects and will drop whatever it may be carrying in favor of a coin or a spoon.
Primary threats to this species include its restricted range, loss of habitat, a low reproductive rate, and a limited capability of dispersal. Of the approximately 63,000 acres (250 km 2 ) of remaining habitat, about 60 percent is currently owned or leased by paper companies which primarily use a clear-cut system of forest management.
This article needs attention from an expert in Palaeontology.The specific problem is: Several of the genus names appear to be invalid.See e.g. Gilbertia, which appears not to have been accepted (see the hidden note).

An example of ecological diversity on a global scale would be the variation in ecosystems, such as deserts, forests, grasslands, wetlands and oceans. Ecological diversity is the largest scale of biodiversity, and within each ecosystem, there is a great deal of both species and genetic diversity. [1] [2] [3] [4]
