how do endangered species deal with inbreeding?
In: 614
It depends on how much competition exists. With punctuated equilibrium, there are instances where only uniquely adapted species will remain after a significant disturbing event. They may have been struggling but suddenly find themselves as the last ones standing. As time goes on, they diversify (can’t stop mutations from happening). But yeah sometimes species die off. That’s just how the system works.
