Adaptation (Anthromorphemics)

Changes in gene frequencies resulting from selective pressures being placed upon a population by environmental factors; results in a greater fitness of the population to its ecological niche.

Adaptation (Anthropology)

Changes in gene frequencies resulting from selective pressures being placed upon a population by environmental factors; results in a greater fitness of the population to its ecological niche.

Adaptation (Athletics)

When a muscle fiber or organism is overloaded beyond its normal environment that muscle fiber or organism will adjust to the added stress and become stronger unless too much stress is placed on it.
Aerobic

Adaptation (Carpet)

Changes in an organisms structure or behavior that helps it adjust to its surroundings. An increase or decrease in sensitivity to a given stimulus which occurs as a result of exposure to that stimulus.

Adaptation (Climate)

The adjustment of an organism or population to a new or altered environment through genetic changes brought about by natural selection.

Adaptation (Developmental Psychology)

A change in behavior to meet situational demands.

Adaptation (Environment)

Changes in an organism's physiological structure or function or habits that allow it to survive in new surroundings.

Adaptation (Evolution)

Any heritable characteristic of an organism that improves its ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Also used to describe the process of genetic change within a population, as influenced by natural selection.

Adaptation (Fish)

Changes in an organism's structure or habits that allow it to adjust to its surroundings.

Adaptation (Fitness)

To adjust to new conditions.

Adaptation (Fossils)

Any heritable characteristic of an organism that improves its ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Also used to describe the process of genetic change within a population, as influenced by natural selection. Alternatively, some heritable feature of an individual's phenotype that improves its chances of survival and reproduction in the existing environment.

Adaptation (Furniture)

A piece of furniture made in imitation of another piece, and which captures the flavor of the original but is not authentic in detail or construction. Contrast Replica.

Adaptation (Interactive Services Marketing)

The strategy of tailoring service offerings to accommodate conditions in each local market.

Adaptation (Intercultural)

the process of accommodating to new ways of doing things by making changes in one's own behaviour and assumptions.

Adaptation (Lighting Design)

The process by which the eye becomes accustomed to varying quantities of light or to light of a different color.

Adaptation (Mental Health)

Fitting one's behavior to meet the needs of one's environment, which often involves a modification of impulses, emotions, or attitudes.

Adaptation (Movement Theory)

Building arguments by borrowing affirmative premises from other movements, enclaves, or especially the dominant public.

Adaptation (Oceanography)

The way in which an organism changes its body or way of life to suit its environment.

Adaptation (Physical Geography)

(1) Evolutionary adaptation - a genetically based characteristic expressed by a living organism. Particular adaptations found in populations become frequent and dominant if they enhance an individual's ability to survive in the environment.
(2) Physiological adaptation - change in an organism's physiology as a result of exposure to some environmental condition.

Adaptation (Sociology)

Refers to the ability of a sociocultural system to change with the demands of a changing physical or social environment. The process by which cultural elements undergo change in form and/or function in response to change in other parts of the system.

Adaptation (Speleological)

An inherited characteristic of an organism in structure, function or behaviour which makes it better able to survive and reproduce. Visible examples of adaptations to cave life are: lengthening of appendages, loss of pigments, modification of eyes.
