What does «adaptación biológica» mean in Spanish?
- It is the process (and result) of the natural evolution of an organism, through natural selection, which may be an anatomical structure, physiological processes or specific behavior. A biological adaptation results in a better adaptation of a population to its habitat. This process takes place over several generations. Adaptation is one of the two main processes that explain species diversity, the other being speciation (caused by geographic isolation or other mechanisms).
