The phrase "adaptive to the cold" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe an organism or object that has the ability to adjust or change in response to cold temperatures.
Example: "The Arctic fox is highly adaptive to the cold, allowing it to thrive in harsh winter conditions."
Alternatives: "able to adjust to the cold" or "suitable for cold environments."
While this hypothesis cannot be entirely discarded, the increased cold tolerance found in temperate populations can be explained as an adaptive response to the cold stress.
There is no evidence that body temperature of mammals and birds is adaptive to the different climates, either of great heat or cold.
Its regulation and expression is suggestive of a thermogenic role, yet no evidence of non-shivering thermogenesis or "adaptive-NST", i.e. an adaptive organismal response to the cold, has been demonstrated.
Getting used to the cold.
One important adaptive response to cold is the induction of FADs to regulate the fluidity of the cellular membrane.
For example, melanic morphs in the butterfly Colias eurytheme entail adaptive advantage in the cold, but non-melanic morphs are more adaptive than melanic morphs in warm condition as it has a less tendency to overheat [ 43].
The principal findings are depicted in Figure 9 and provide a preliminary model of the endothelial adaptive response to cold and a framework to guide future investigations.
After observing an adaptive mechanism for the cold temperature by CNX-012-570 treanimalsimals, we measured the expression of UCP1 in the inguinal fat.
The Psychrobacter species adapt to extremely cold climates and produce cold-adaptive lipases [ 34] and have great potential to be used in low-temperature fermentation, particularly in northern China.
In potato (Solanum tuberosum), invertases are involved in 'cold-induced sweetening' of tubers, an adaptive response to cold stress, which negatively affects the quality of potato chips and French fries.
