ecological light adaptation

Ecological light adaptation refers to how living organisms adjust to different lighting conditions in their environment. For example, plants may develop larger leaves to capture more sunlight in shady areas, while those in bright sunlight might have smaller leaves to reduce water loss. Animals can also adapt by changing their behavior or physical characteristics; nocturnal creatures may develop better night vision, while daytime animals might have brighter colors to blend in with their surroundings. Overall, these adaptations help species survive and thrive in their specific habitats by optimizing their use of available light.
