State
Adaptation is a trait that fits an organism to its environment, produced over generations by natural selection.
Show
A heat-tolerant microbe living in a hot spring and a moth with a tongue matched to one flower's depth are both adaptations.
Watch for
An adaptation fits a past and present environment; it carries no guarantee of fitting a future one.
