摘要: In a planet in continuous change, where humans and their activities have enhanced this modification’s rate, wildlife had to develop mechanisms cope with change avoid extinction. The challenges imposed by agricultural landscapes, often associated production cycles intensification, has led the extinction of many populations or species unable track resources behavioral biological processes allow them use available resources. However, not always story negative outcome. present chapter, we several examples acclimation adaptation trying survive changing environments, which include morphological, physiological, adaptations (i.e., genetic implications) acclimations. there is threshold changes that may manage overcome. This limit specific directly related natural history, plasticity structure diversity.
