The East African cichlid fishes of Lake Malawi are ideal for investigating
behavioral adaptation to environment, as within genera, fine - scale niche partitioning has resulted in sympatric sister species that live in definable microhabitats with distinct selection pressures.

The same neuroplasticity that leaves emotional regulation,
behavioral adaptation, and executive functioning skills vulnerable
to early disruption by stressful
environments also enables their successful development through focused interventions during sensitive periods in their maturation.
Plant - specific sensory systems are used
to sample more than 20 different such parameters from a plant's
environment and integrate the complex sensory information so that the plant can respond
to the outside world via metabolic, physiological and
behavioral adaptations essential for survival.
Ethology emphasized the manner in which members of a species inherited specific
behavioral adaptations to a particular
environment, providing them with the advantages needed
to succeed through natural selection.
