17.Kramer also notes that rainfall stoked by climate change might benefit crane fly species whose larvae are aquatic or semiaquatic. 18.The team found that there is a threshold between semiaquatic and fully aquatic species, and once that threshold has been passed, the aquatic adaptations are irr...

Penguin - Flightless, Adaptations, Aquatic: Penguins are highly specialized for their flightless aquatic existence; features include a a flipper as a forelimb, very short feathers, and salt glands. There are fossils dating to about 50 million years ago,
Adaptationsof form and function presumably determine distribution. The legs and jaws of some nymphs are modified for burrowing in silt or sand, whereas in other species, these are flattened tofacilitateentering narrow crevices or clinging to bottom materials in swift currents. Long, slender legs and...
Crabs are important predators, and the continuing struggle between them and their prey prompts the evolution of newer adaptations: the massive and often highly ornamented shells of many marine mollusks are thought to be a protective response to the predatory activities of crabs; in turn the crabs ...
Cetacean - Marine Mammals, Aquatic Adaptations, Conservation: Cetaceans are carnivorous aquatic mammals distributed in all oceans and some river systems. All are social to some extent, and many exhibit epimeletic behavior. Play is a common behavior. Many
