Answer: become extinct

A generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of climate and environmental conditions and have varied diets. When their habitats are destroyed, they can easily adapt to change, migrate or move into a new niche.

A specialist species can thrive only in a narrow range of climate and environmental conditions and has a limited diet. When this environment or habitat is destroyed, they are most likely to become extinct than the generalist species.
