Answer:
An adaptation is a special characteristic that enables a plant or animal to be successful in a particular environment .
Three types of adaptations exist, structural, physiological and behavioral.
Stick insects display all three very well.
Structural adaptations are physical features that give an organism a better chance to survive in their particular environment and include:
- skin colouring and markings that camouflage the insect and make it look like a leaf or stick.
- Red wings. This is an example of flash-colouration.
- Features that make the insect look like a scorpion
Physiological Adaptation is the body's response to a specific external stimulus in order to maintain equilibrium. For example we shiver when it is cold so we can increase our body temperature.
When it come to the stick insects a good example is parthenogenesis. In the absence of males the females lay eggs that will hatch into female stick insects.
Behavioral adaptation is a way an animal acts or behaves in order to stay alive or get an advantage in reproduction due to its climate. An example of this is when a lizard moves into the shade to avoid the heat of the Sun, or during a cold morning how it stands in direct sunlight to increase its body temperature.
- A fine example of behavioral adaptation in stick insects is the ability of the insect to play dead. This is called thanatosis. Look at the video on the right.
The eggs of many species of stick insect have an appendage known as the capitulum. The capitulum is full of carbohydrates (sugars). The ants carry the egg down into their nest where they eat the capitulum but leave the egg.
Ants usually vacate the nest every 6 months or so. This is beneficial as the eggs can hatch without the fear of the juvenile insects being killed by the ants.
