I like to think of it like so: 
Salamanders can be water or fire (I use salamanders because I understand them best and they are easiest to use for an example)
With that in mind neither fire nor water would survive in colder temperatures of winter fall or spring
They have to be kept hot and generally prefer warm temperatures

i feel like the others are similar
Some species are adapted for one environment or multiple and not others
