For each species, there is a set of environmental conditions within which it can best survive and reproduce. It is under these conditions that the species is best adapted. Ecologists are interested in studying and understanding tolerance ranges of different species for different environments, and how these adaptations influence the

Species 2 similarly declines in abundance (red line), but compared with Species 1 fares a little better in the north and a little worse in the south.
