Concept explainers

Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.

Question

MAKE CONNECTIONS Hawaiian silverswords underwent a remarkable adaptive radiation after their ancestor reached Hawaii, while the islands were still young
(see Figure 25.22). Would you expect the cattle egret
to undergo a similar adaptive radiation in the Americas
(see Figure 52.18)? Explain.
