A biological adaptation is any structural (morphological or anatomical), physiological, or behavioral characteristics of an organismor group of organisms (such as species) that make it better suited in its environment and consequently improves its chances of survival and reproductive success. Due to individual phenotypic plasticity (variability), individuals will be more or less successful. Some adaptations may improve reproductive success of the population, but not a particular individual, such as seen in altruistic behavior in social insects.
Organisms that are adapted to their environment are able to :
secure food, water, and nutrients
obtain air, warmth, and spaces
cope with physical conditions such as temperature, light, and heat
defend themselves from their natural enemies
reproduce and rear offspring
respond to changes around them
Adaptations can be structural, physiological, or behavioral. Structural adaptations are special body parts of an organism that help it to survive in its natural habitat (e.g., skin color, shape, body covering). Physiological adaptations are systems present in an organism that allow it to perform certain biochemical reactions (e.g., making venom, secreting slime, being able to keep a constant body temperature). Behavioral adaptationsare special ways a particular organism behaves to survive in its natural habitat (e.g., becoming active at night, taking a certain posture).
Based on the habitats for which organisms develop adaptations, adaptations can be categorized into 3 fundamental types, namely aquatic, terrestrial, and volant (flying), each of which can be further divided into many subtypes.
