Simplification of language and adaptation of examples and assignments (for example if children are in residential care) were needed when adapting the parents' online educational program because many parents of children with mild ID have mild ID themselves.
If the time-scale of environmental change is much slower than the time-scale of adaptation, for example, populations will adapt to their current environment rather than the statistics of environmental fluctuations.
Future studies could examine other determinants of socioeconomic adaptation; for example, the effect of class of admission and context of reception.
Extreme weather events/impacts and recognising opportunities have been identified in other work as key drivers of adaptation, for example, in the development of National Adaptation Strategies in Europe (Biesbroek et al. 2010), and in driving institutional adaptation action in the UK (Tompkins et al. 2010).
One solution is to make students aware of this conflict and to challenge them to provide examples of the intentional use of adaptation (for example) as well as its use by evolutionary biologists: Did ants adapt to their changed environment because (1) they wanted to do so and decided to change, or (2) because some ants possessed a particular trait that was advantageous in that environment?
MU recruitment can be modified by diseases, aging and/or processes of adaptation: for example, the physiological reduction in the number and size of type II fibers in the elderly leads to paradoxically fewer myoelectrical manifestations of fatigue than in younger subjects [ 39].
Mutational processes are of intense medical interest in studies of retroviral adaptation, for example.
Genome regions with high negative D values may be interesting candidates for resequencing studies to determine if genes in these regions have experienced recent selective sweeps as a result of local adaptation, for example as a response to fungicide applications, or changes in cultivars or crop rotations [ 40].
Nonetheless, there are clear benefits of scientific tools such as the IPCC ARs in aiding decision-making, but the "predict and provide" approach to science in support of climate change adaptation, for example, is "seriously flawed" (Dessai et al., 2009: 74).
Take the rather sombre trailer for the upcoming, long-awaited film adaptation of Les Misérables, for example.
