Range of Tolerance

What is the ecological range of tolerance?

• The range of conditions that an organism can endure before injury or death

• The range of conditions that humans can tolerate in their environment

• The range of conditions that specialists can tolerate in their habitat

• The range of conditions that generalists can tolerate in their habitat
