Summary:
We resoundingly applaud life strategies that neatly exploit a particular evolutionary strength but forget that such risks can make an animal or plant vulnerable. Will life that has become so specialised and attuned to a particular ecological niche be able to adapt again to a changing world or will it evolve itself into extinction? What is the price of such specialisation when we see the past littered with many such failed 'success' stories?
