15 de jun. de 2022 · In biology and ecology, adaptation refers to the process of adjusting behavior, physiology, or structure to become more suited to an environment. It may also be defined as the state reached by the biological population undergoing adjustments or changes.
An example widely used today to study the interplay of adaptation and speciation is the evolution of cichlid fish in African lakes, where the question of reproductive isolation is complex. Adaptation is not always a simple matter where the ideal phenotype evolves for a given environment.
