Because much of animal evolution involves adaptation for the procurement of food, the extent of the meaning of the term feeding behaviour is not clear.
Driving real innovation is a complex process that involves adaptation, cross-functional alignment, and feature prioritization -- all of which are next to impossible with a one-dimensional board.
Survival of R. conorii within eschars also involves adaptation to osmotic stress, changes in cell surface proteins and up-regulation of some virulence factors.
The proper functioning of this complex tissue involves adaptation to a host of cellular and environmental stressors over time, and cumulative long-term detrimental effects of oxidative stress have been implicated in decreased aqueous humor outflow.
Population response to environmental variation involves adaptation, acclimation, or both.
This primarily involves adaptation of metabolism and/or stimulation of oxygen delivery.
We, therefore, hypothesised that the geographic differentiation also involves adaptation to the local climate, namely to a north south cline in temperature.
Thus, our observations suggest that differential specialization of rod and cone pathways involves adaptation at the first synapse in these respective circuits.
Since this increase in autonomy is reflected in the tumour's subsequent growth rate in secondary hosts, it is suggested that it involves adaptation of the tumour rather than progressive immunodepression of the primary host.
