diversity and adaptations of organisms

All parasitic have successfully adapted to live either on or inside their hosts. Some of their important adaptations ar..

These adaptations help the animals in climbing and are found in various animals like squirrels, lemurs, sloths and rodents. Chameleon Adaptation for Arboreal and Terrestrial Habitats andInsectivorous Mode of Feedi..

The principle of adaptive radiation is based on two evolutionary mechanisms: Divergent evolutions Convergent evolutions Divergent evolution involves the homologous structures. A group of organisms modify a common homologous structure to perform different functions. An exam..

Organism and Environment - Each and every living organism has its specific surrounding medium of environment with which it continuously interacts and remains fully adapted. The environment is the sum total of physical and biotic conditions influencing the responses of ..

One of the indirect evidences for evolution comes from the study of homologous organs in organisms that exist today. Homologous organs are those, which have the same basic structure, but different functions. For example, an examination of the forelimb skeleton in diff..

Introduction - The term ecology is derived from two Greek words (oikos - means 'house' or place to live and logos means 'a discussion or study'). Literally, ecology is the study of organism 'at home' in their native environment. The term was first introduced by Reiter in 1868, but was ful..
