Adaptation: Changes in an organism's structure or habits that help it adjust to its surroundings.
Additive Effect: Combined effect of two or more chemicals equal to the sum of their individual effects.
Adaptation
adjustments made by animals in respect of their environments.
Adaptation: Taking actions to avoid, benefit from, or deal with current and future climate change. Adaptation can take place in advance (by planning before an impact occurs) or in response to changes that are already occurring.
Adaptation: a genetically determined characteristic that enhances the ability of an organism to cope with its environment; any alteration or response of an organism that favors survival in a changed environment.

Adaptation: 1. Changes in an organism's physiological structure or function or habits that allow it to survive in new surroundings. 2. The process of making adjustments to the environment.
adaptation The result of the process of long-term evolutionary adjustment of a population to environmental changes.
pseudoadaptation
Apparent adaptation of an organism to changing conditions of the environment (especially chemical) associated with stresses in biochemical systems that exceed the limits of normal (homeostatic) mechanisms.
ADAPTATION The term "adaptation" refers to the ability of different species with different genetic make-ups to cope with a specific range of circumstances such as climate, food supply, habitat, defense and movement.
Adaptation strategies accept some warming as a given and focus on preventing or reducing undesirable consequences: for example defending against rising sea levels or ensuring food security.

DROUGHT MECHANISMS -ADAPTATION VS. ACCLIMATION
At this point we should differentiate between the terms adaptation and acclimation. Some plants are better adapted to cope with a drought.
adaptation The adjustment of an organism or population to a new or altered environment through genetic changes brought about by natural selection.
adaptation a genetic or behavioral trait or pattern that enhances a plant's or animal's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
