At the same time, if stress responses have a genetic basis, they may enhance rapid adaptation to stressful environments (genetic assimilation) (Parsons 1991; Hoffmann and Hercus 2000; Badyaev 2005).
Is migration undertaken as an alternative to enhance adaptation to climate change?
That is, while adaptation may enhance the visibility of novel information, it is not expected to enhance the visibility of stimuli that fall within the adapting distribution (McDermott et al., 2010).
This barrier to dispersal has been described as the Monopolization Hypothesis by De Meester et al. [ 24] who also indicated that local adaptation may enhance the buffering capacity of a resident population against migration.
The tumour size reduction of initially less responsive tumours after treatment adaptation adds further evidence that a response-adapted strategy may enhance the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
In these cases, augmentation and genetic matching may be pivotal to enhancing adaptation to current and future conditions and restoring gene flow across fragmented landscapes (Rice and Emery 2003).
Such local ecogeographic differentiation may enhance plant populations to evolve local ecological adaptations that provide an advantage under the prevailing conditions [ 2, 16].
Fourth, a previous history of adaptation to marginal stressful environments may enhance performance in novel environmental conditions (Reed et al. 2003; Gonzalez and Bell 2012).
The addition of functional anaerobic training may enhance the transfer of strength gains and structural adaptations to functional performance.
Admixture may enhance the invasion success of a species through pre-adaptation to a wider range of bioclimatic conditions prior to introduction to new regions [ 35].
