You could, Wilson and others discovered, formulate mathematical equations which predicted a wide range of behaviour, right down to what Wilson termed "adaptive demography", altering birth rates to suit the prevailing conditions.
Psychostimulants affect animal models of ADHD and normal animals differently, suggesting that the nervous system of the ADHD model has undergone adaptive change which alters the effects of drugs used to treat ADHD.
These inversions are associated with population structure, conferring ecological adaptation and altering mosquito adaptive fitness [ 27, 58].
Analysis of the whole genome of HPAI A(H5N1) virus provides valuable insight into the presence of mutations that may reflect adaptive changes, altered virulence, and/or transmission phenotype.
Lower and Middle Paleolithic hominins were capable of at least some innovation, of solving novel adaptive problems by altering their behavior.
S. Typhimurium utilizes adaptive strategies of altering innate plant perception systems to improve its fitness in the plant habitat.
If we extrapolate it further, we can suggest an hypothesis by which similar to plant pathogen that evolved to enhance microbial fitness [26], as S. Typhimurium improved its fitness in the plant habitat, it developed an adaptive strategy of altering innate plant perception system.
Therefore, the probability for altering adaptive allele frequencies via Pacific lamprey translocation is high, creating added incentive to gain an understanding of the mechanisms driving this adaptive divergence and how it relates to the biology of this migratory species.
Sustained environmental change, such as that predicted by global climate models, could potentially drive selection pressures to act on different suites of traits [ 44], thereby fundamentally altering adaptive landscapes [ 36, 44].
The authors discuss the possibility that the early egress of undifferentiated CD4−CD8− T cells plays a role in the immunopathologic events in Chagas disease by altering adaptive immune responses.
