Adaptation to environmental changes
Adaptation to environmental changes refers to the process by which organisms or systems adjust their behaviors, structures, or functions to better survive and thrive amidst new or altered conditions. This can involve physical changes, like thicker fur in colder climates, or behavioral shifts, such as migration or altered feeding habits. Adaptation improves an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in changing environments. It occurs over generations through natural selection or within an organism’s lifetime through flexible responses. Overall, adaptation helps living things cope with environmental challenges and maintain balance within their ecosystems.
