The phrase "adaptive transitions" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or adjustments that are flexible and responsive to varying conditions or environments.
Example: "The organization implemented adaptive transitions to ensure that their strategies remained effective in the face of changing market demands."
Alternatives: "flexible changes" or "responsive shifts".
These results have implications for the design of clinical rehabilitation programs and countermeasures to enhance astronaut adaptability, facilitating adaptive transitions between gravitational environments.
Flowering time and mating system divergence are two of the most common adaptive transitions in plants.
Starting from the state of the art, a set of standardized rules that frame the behaviors of dynamic gates are designed and a well-defined semantic for repairable-DFT is drawn through the application of a novel formalism, the Adaptive Transitions System (ATS).
The acquisition of novel T3SEs may be indicative of adaptive transitions into new niche environments (Sarkar et al. 2006).
Together with the signs of positive selections in the young Meg genes, these results suggest that the expansion of the Meg family involves potentially adaptive transitions in which new members with novel functions prevailed over older members.
Nine years later, Simpson (1953) felt compelled to write that biologists were using the term preadaptation in nine different ways, eight of which assumed the process was adaptive at all stages, and one of which supposed the non-adaptive to adaptive transition.
Rather than trying to find the actual fossil corresponding to the "missing link" between lobe-fins and tetrapods, paleontologists instead look for fossils with characters or features important for an adaptive transition from life in an aquatic environment to life on land and that are shared as the result of common ancestry.
This raises the possibility that in the adaptive transition to new niches the acquisition of genes by lateral transfer is a big player.
As gene expression analyses at the single fiber level significantly increased the resolution power, this innovative approach would allow a better understanding of the adaptive transcriptomic transitions occurring in myofibers under physiological and pathological conditions.
The adaptive transcriptome transitions followed relaxation curves (the distributions in red and ivory), resulting from the feedback mechanism to the heat shock response.
From the overview presented in the Introduction, it is clear that flowers may influence diversification in several ways, involving both adaptive (trait transitions, reduced extinction rates, adaptive/ecological speciation) and non-adaptive processes (e.g. non-adaptive speciation).
