We all know Vulcans have elaborate family clan structures, right? And a lot of the survivors won't have any family left. I've been thinking about that, how they'll probably band together to form clans/families from whatever fragments are left, so a lot of clans won't survive even if there are survivors from the clan, because they'll just get absorbed.
I realized I'm thinking about this too much like a human. Vulcans live twice as long as we do; they probably have a fertile period twice as long, as well. Raise one batch of kids as children of one clan, and once they're out of the house, raise another batch of kids as children of the other. Bingo, both clans preserved, and you have a population explosion as well, which they need.
