The phrase "adapted to native" is not entirely correct and may be unclear in written English.
It could be used in contexts discussing modifications or adjustments made to suit native speakers or native environments, but it lacks clarity without additional context.
Example: "The software was adapted to native users to enhance their experience."
Alternatives: "tailored for native" or "customized for native".
Musical instruments, genres, and styles borrowed from European culture have been adapted to native tastes and incorporated into traditional repertories.
Jordanians acknowledge that shawarma was originally imported, probably from Turkey, maybe from Greece, but it has clearly become a local food, having been adapted to native tastes and customs.
The Inuit appear not to have interfered with their operations, but they did raid the stations in winter for tools, and particularly worked iron, which they adapted to native needs.
Landscaping primarily with exotic plant species would be expected to be detrimental to insect herbivores that have adapted to native plant hosts and recent studies support this hypothesis.
The results are therefore informative of the extent to which immigrants adapt to natives' culture in the two host countries.
One theoretical expectation arising from local adaptation is that organisms adapted to their native environment should perform "better" than organisms transplanted from their native environment and acclimatized to a novel habitat.
There is evidence that populations tend to be locally adapted to their native habitat type, but some populations had lower fitness in their native site than foreign populations (Hereford and Winn 2008).
In the latter, one homozygote has the highest fitness in each environment (i.e., intermediates do poorly in both environments, and each homozygote is best adapted to its native versus the alternative environment) [18].
Populations of this species have been shown to be locally adapted to their native habitats or planting sites (Jordan 1992; Hereford and Winn 2008) and to differ in the expression of maternal effects (Hereford and Moriuchi 2005).
It is reasonable to assume that the current populations are (at least) well adapted to their native site and that their performance within that site is essential as good as can possibly be achieved under the currently prevailing climatic conditions.
Crosses between the populations in this study reveal strong heterosis even in populations from different habitats (Hereford 2009 b ), and many populations are not locally adapted to their native habitat (Hereford and Winn 2008).
