The phrase "alter adaptation" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing changes to a process of adaptation, but clarity is essential.
Example: "The researchers focused on how to alter adaptation strategies in response to climate change."
Alternatives: "modify adaptation" or "change adaptation".
However, repetitive odorant stimulation showed altered adaptation in the eNOS deficient mice.
The ΔmcyB mutant showed clear differences in pigmentation [11] and was proposed to show altered adaptation to low inorganic carbon concentrations [12].
Even though the extent of local adaptations in lake trout remains largely unknown, stocking could alter local adaptation in wild populations, as shown in other fish species (reviewed in Laikre et al. 2010).
As communication characteristics between neurons alter with adaptation [ 32– 40] and degree of saturation [ 13, 30, 31] the conditions under which they are applied must be comparable to the conditions under which the gain relationships are derived.
In a part of the world that is battling the progressive effects of continuous drought — exhaustion of wells, topsoil erosion, population loss as the land becomes inhospitable to agriculture — fog-water collection could be a life-altering adaptation.
We next examine empirical evidence that species interactions can substantially alter climate adaptations.
Although it is known that changes in bone mass, architecture and bone tissue quality occur with age, to what extent they contribute to the altered bone adaptation response remains to be determined.
A high level of 5-HT in the hippocampus was shown to increase nerve growth factor1-A level and induce glucocorticoid receptor gene expression during development, which alters animals' adaptation to stress in adulthood[40].
In contrast, we found that a disease-resistant wheat line triggers various defense mechanisms to strengthen disease resistance, and that expression patterns of the same defense-associated genes were altered in adaptation to different pathogens.
Constitutively active CaMKIV increases mitochondrial biogenesis when overexpressed from an embryonic stage onward [ 18], but this CaMK is not endogenously expressed in skeletal muscle [ 23, 32] and CaMKIV knock-out mice do not display altered muscle adaptation in response to training [ 23].
