Behavioral Adaptation
Actions and behavioral patterns enhancing survival and reproduction in specific environmental or social contexts.
Real World
Every autumn, over two million wildebeest migrate 800 km across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem following seasonal rainfall patterns to access fresh grazing, timing their calving to coincide with peak grass growth.
Exam Focus
When discussing behavioural adaptations, state the stimulus triggering the behaviour and the survival advantage gained — both elements are needed for full marks.
