The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.

Advantages of constant body temperaure
Leya [2.2K]
Proteins function optimally at a specific temperature. So if you get too hot or too cold, biochemical reactions in your body start to function less well. If the situation becomes extreme enough, they can cease to function well enough to sustain life. 

Warm-blooded animals have an advantage over cold-blooded ones in that their bodies automatically try to maintain the optimal termperature for things in their bodies to function. Cold-blooded animals depend on the environmental temperature to do this for them. That's why reptiles are very sluggish when they're cold, but will "wake up" when they get warm. 

The cost to this benefit is that metabolically, warm-blooded animals require a lot more fuel to run their bodies. It's very energy-intensive to maintain a constant body temperature. Cold-blooded animals require far less fuel than warm-blooded ones relative to their size. 

The way that proteins operate in a specific temperature is also true of the pH in your body which is also very tightly maintained.

While states have been relatively effective in stopping ______, they have been less successful at stopping ______.
Firlakuza [10]

While states have been relatively effective in stopping  <u>The depletion of the ozone layer </u> they have been less successful at stopping  <u>Global climate change.</u>

Countries all across the globe decided to stop using ozone-diminishing compounds in order to protect the ozone layer from depleting.

The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer in 1985 and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987 formalized this accord.

Ozone shields the Earth from the Sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Life on Earth would be extremely difficult without the Ozone layer in the atmosphere.

Plants and planktons, which provide sustenance for the majority of ocean life, cannot survive and thrive in high UV exposure.

Llana [10]
The lizards have to adapt to the environment to survive. The lizards may have always ate flies/lizards but once they reached the environment that produced opposite of their eating habits, they altered their eating habits. The lizards' adaptation will give them the ability to survive within the said environment that produce certain foods.
