adaptation
evolutionary biological process that fits organisms to their environment, adaptive trait, or state reached by an evolving population
compartmentalization of decay in trees
plant defense mechanism against wood-decay pathogens
hardiness
ability of plants to survive adverse growing conditions
Organisms at high altitude
organisms capable of living at high altitudes
evolutionary arms race
competition of sets of genes, traits, or species, that develop adaptations and counter-adaptations against each other
secondary aquatic adaptation
the changes occurring as a result of a land-dwelling species habituating in water
co-adaptation
process by which two or more species, genes or phenotypic traits undergo adaptation as a pair or group
arthropod adhesion
set of adaptations in various taxa used to adhere to diverse surfaces using intermolecular forces mediated by fine hairs and fluids
webbed foot
animal foot with non-pathological interdigital webbing
climate change adaptation
process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, seeking to moderate or avoid harm or exploit beneficial opportunities
overwintering
process by which some organisms pass through the winter season
Mimicry in plants
evolutionary mechanism
projectile use by non-human organisms
adaptations that employ fluid, solid, or tethered projectiles
conditioned taste aversion
biological process
Mimicry in vertebrates
use of mimicry as an anti-predator adaptation in animals with backbones
