Study Notes
Types of Adaptation
- Adaptation refers to the changes organisms undergo to enhance their survival in specific environments.
Structural Adaptation
- Involves physical changes in an organism's structure.
- Examples include elongated necks in giraffes for reaching high foliage or camouflaged skin in chameleons for blending into their surroundings.
- Structural adaptations often arise from evolutionary processes, improving an organism's ability to survive and reproduce.
Behavioral Adaptation
- Involves changes in an organism's behavior to increase chances of survival.
- Examples include migration patterns in birds to find food resources or hibernation in certain species to conserve energy during unfavorable seasons.
- Behavioral adaptations can be learned or innate and play a crucial role in how species interact with their environment and avoid predators.
