In biology, the definition of physiological adaptation goes like “changes in the basic metabolome of an organism to maintain homeostasis under the worst of environmental circumstances and trends”. Here, it becomes important for us to understand two basic terms: metabolome and homeostasis. Metabolome...
and the inclusion of nonadaptive process as an important mechanism for morphological divergence—have been widely applied in the broader evolutionary biology literature (e.g.,Lofsvold, 1988;Simon

In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Background-light adaptation is adaptation of the photoreceptor to a steady light – light that induces a significant response but not so bright that a substantial fraction of the pigment on the cell is bleached. ...
Fraser’s (2006, p. 171) definition of justice as “parity of participation” is useful for understanding the promise, pitfalls, and possibilities of LLA because it aligns neatly with the language of participatory planning commonly used in adaptation practice but also used as a basis and means ...
As a possible definition for fitness, we have chosen it to be proportional to the number of unpaired nucleotides in the hairpin loop of the secondary structure. This definition yields four levels of fitness, as revealed by the color code. Let us imagine a population of sequences at 37 °C...
