It is a shade tolerant species and is present in early and late-seral communities.

The climax community is composed of the most "tolerant" species that can co-exist with other species in a more densely populated area.

It is then the opportunity for shade "tolerant" species to become established under the protection of the pioneers.

Map turtles are considered habitat specialists and may be replaced by a more tolerant species when their habitat is altered.

However, it is a very tolerant species and can be found in almost any stream system with adequate food, leading to it widespread distribution.

They are common in salt marsh and may be succulent, like other salt tolerant species its members are commonly known as saltbushes.

Natural selection can also cause a replacement of less tolerant species with more tolerant species.

Shade tolerant species are present in all age/size classes.

If fire is suppressed, douglas-fir (Pesudotsuga menziesii), a shade tolerant species, eventually replaces the pines.

The Pacific oyster is also a very temperature tolerant species, as it can withstand a range from -1.8 to 35 C.
