Therefore, the energy metabolism was higher, which could make it possible for meridians make functional adjustments in the human body [ 14– 17].
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports (IPCC 2001, 2007, 2012) define adaptation as an adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.
Following IPCC (2007), adaptation to climate change refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or its effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.
"Adaptation to climate change refers to adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities" (FAO 2011; IPCC 2011).
Following IPCC (2001), adaptation to climate change refers to the "adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities".
Adjustment in natural or human systems to a new or changing environment.
to climate change refers to adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.
Here, we report a case of biological adjustment to human disturbance in a wild king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) colony of the Crozet Archipelago, which has been exposed to the continuous presence of humans for over 50 years.
Our findings report a case of physiological adjustment to human presence in a long studied king penguin colony, and emphasize the importance of considering potential effects (such as habituation) of human presence (or manipulations) in ecological studies, both in setting up experimental designs and reaching conclusions as to the questions initially addressed.
A large part of these adjustment costs may be the costs of investing in human capital at the destination, such as becoming more fluent in a language.
