Q:
Which one of the following is most sensitive to environmental change?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) Amphibian
Explanation: Amphibians are one of the most sensitive groups to change, whether that is caused by habitat loss, invasive species, disease, trade or climate change. Their sensitivity to environmental threats has been generally linked to the observation that amphibians are characterized by a rather permeable skin. Given their complex life cycles and other traits, amphibians are often recognized as indicators of ecosystem health.
