Prairie dogs have many adaptations like sharp claws to help it dig their burrows. They have sharp hearing so they can hear if a predator is coming. Prairie Dogs have whiskers that they use for balance so when they walk they won't fall over. The thick, dense coats of a sloth help keep...
Physiological adaptations can assist amphibians in colonizing habitats where extreme conditions prevail. The tolerance range in body temperature represents the range of temperatures within which a species can survive. One species of North American newt is still active when temperatures drop to -2°C ...
DPOAEs and tympanal membrane vibrations reveal adaptations of the sexually dimorphic ear of the concave-eared torrent frog, Odorrana tormota Author: Cobo-Cuan, Ariadna; Feng, Albert S.; Zhang, Fang; Narins, Peter M. Jumping of flea beetles onto inclined platforms Author: Zong, Le; Wu, ...
Although behavio- ral sensitization is not tantamount to craving, it is often thought to induce compensatory homeostatic or incen- tive-motivational adaptations which, in turn, could incu- bate craving or "pathological wanting" that may be rekindled by stress or drug cues during prolonged abs...
even in taxa without an assembled genome. The large mutational target hypothesis also predicts a greater birth rate of neurogenic genes in species that have evolved new complex behavioral adaptations such as gene family expansions of neuronally-expressed protocadherins and C2H2 zinc-finger transcription...
the nucleus accumbens [116]. Although behavioral sensitization is not tantamount to craving, it is often thought to induce compensatory homeostatic or incentive-motivational adaptations which, in turn, could incubate craving or "pathological wanting" that may be rekindled by stress or drug cues ...
A diversity of defence colourations that shift over time provides protection against natural enemies. Adaptations for camouflage depend on an organism̵
During ovulation, women engage in less risky behaviors to avoid sexual assaults (Bröder and Hohmann 2003) and show an increase in handgrip strength in response to a sexual assault vignette, suggesting the existence of behavioral adaptations to reduce the probability of conception as a result of...

Parental care directly affects the fitness of individuals because it increases the probability of offspring survival. Therefore, it is expected that parent
