kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, or genus) to which a species belongs, and the overall rate of environmental change Fossil evidence shows that more mammals and birds become extinct than mollusks or insects Studies of the extinction of the dinosaurs and other reptiles during the Cretaceous Period show that a changing environment affects different taxa in different ways Some may be dramatically affected, others less so The best way to answer the question of what causes an extinction is to combine fields of inquiry and a variety of viewpoints Using the fossil record and historical documentation, the different rates of the extinction of various taxa and different responses to environmental change can be detected Then the evolutionary development of the different species can be compared, and traits that may be disadvantageous can be singled out Finally, researchers can use mathematical formulae to determine whether a population is likely to adapt itself to the changing environment or disappear Hopefully, as more of this information is collected, specialists in different fields - e.g physiological and behavioral ecology, population ecology, community ecology, evolutionary biology and systematics, biogeography, and pale biology — will work together to make predictions about the broader changes that might occur in the ecosystem 45 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
