The phrase "adaptation for increased" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or modifications made to enhance or improve something, often in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "The adaptation for increased efficiency in the new engine design has led to significant fuel savings."
Alternatives: "modification for enhanced" or "adjustment for greater".
We hypothesize that aggregation near the ostia and trachea represents an adaptation for increased immune surveillance, as this places hemocytes in areas of high hemolymph flow and in areas of potential pathogen entry, respectively.
Taken together, calculation of VC demonstrates that, despite adaptation for increased replicative ability and individual transmission potential, the population level transmission potential of Cx. pipiens exposed to the mosquito-adapted MP20 strain is lower than that of the WT-exposed population (Table 4). 1 mean blood feeding rate. 2 vector competence (b) = infection rate *dissemination rate.
Polar bear fur provides relatively poor insulation during extreme cold conditions (Øritsland 1970), and it has been suggested that the adipose tissue of polar bears is an adaptation for increased energy storage (Pond et al. 1992), potentially making thermal regulation difficult.
Only the 420 nm pigment is used for sun compass orientation, which may be an adaptation for increasing the contrast between the sun and background scattered skylight or for detecting the radiance distribution of skylight.
One view is that sex evolved primarily as an adaptation for increasing genetic diversity (see references e.g. ).
This precise and simultaneous release of gametes is thought to be an adaptation for increasing the probability of successful fertilization [13].
The elongated snout is suggested to be an additional adaptation for increasing the power of suction [ 74].
In these species, the coevolutionary arms-race between female defenses against coercive mating and male counter-adaptations for increased mating success leads to coevolutionary chases of male and female traits that influence the mating.
Research on water striders revealed that the sexual-conflict driven coevolutionary arms race between female defenses against mating and male counter-adaptations for increased mating frequency gave rise to coevolutionary chases ([4]; cycling of arms level between sexes) of male and female external morphologies which influence male mating success.
Thus, they might represent secondary adaptations for increased inter-subunit contacts within the Mediator complex.
When thoughtfully conceived, local adaptations provide models for increased relevance to students, regardless of age and background (Fields, 2010).
