In order to survive in an environment, organisms have many different physical characteristics that help them regulate their temperature, move, find food, and protect themselves. The students' first analyze data from a case study on the peppered moth, learning about how organisms are adapted to their environment and how a change can affect their ability to survive. Students then explore physical adaptations from feet to teeth to color in order to develop an argument from evidence as to why an organism can survive well in one environment and less well in another. This book is a self-directed learning experience designed to augment understanding of science content. Lexile Framework: 720L

Fitness and adaptation are fundamental characteristics of plant and animal species, enabling them to survive in their environment and to adapt to the inevitable changes in this environment. This is true for both the genetic resources of natural ecosystems as well as those used in agricultural production. Extensive genetic variation exists between varieties/breeds in a species and amongst individuals within breeds. This variation has developed over very long periods of time. A major ongoing challenge is how to best utilize this variation to meet short-term demands whilst also conserving it for longer-term possible use. Many animal breeding programs have led to increased performance for production traits but this has often been accompanied by reduced fitness. In addition, the global use of genetic resources prompts the question whether introduced genotypes are adapted to local production systems. Understanding the genetic nature of fitness and adaptation will enable us to better manage genetic resources allowing us to make efficient and sustainable decisions for the improvement or breeding of these resources. This book had an ambitious goal in bringing together a sample of the world’s leading scientists in animal breeding and evolutionary genetics to exchange knowledge to advance our understanding of these vital issues.

When survival is challenged by the cold, animals react by employing both behavioral and physiological solutions. Depending on the magni tude of the cold stress and the nature of the adjustment, simple avoidance or sophisticated capacity or resistance compensations may be used. Thus, migration, shelter seeking, metabolic and insulative compen sation, torpor, and freezing avoidance and tolerance are successful tac tics used by diverse groups of animals. To understand and appreciate the benefits of these tactics, it is necessary to examine not only the well being of the whole animal but also their basic underlying mechanisms. In ad dition, it is also of fundamental importance to grasp how seasonal cold affects the survivorship and reproductive success of populations when confronted by a general reduction in primary productivity and an elevated energy cost for maintenance (e. g. in endotherms). In this regard, a synthetic overview which integrates aspects of cell biology, biochem istry, physiology, neurobiology, behavior, and population biology should be a fruitful approach in providing a holistic understanding on how animals adapt to cold. The present volume is an attempt to achieve such an overview; its objective is to provide a depth and breadth of coverage that is essential to a full appreciation of animal adaptation to cold. It is the hope of the contributing authors that this book will serve as an effective reference text for all senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as research scientists with an interest in cold physiology.

**This is the chapter slice "Animal Adaptations" from the full lesson plan "Classification & Adaptation"** What Do We Classify? What is the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals? Students will also learn to distinguish between vertebrates and invertebrates, understand animal adaptation through a case study: The Koala and Its Adaptations. Even evolution and the fossil record making with hands-on activities including: How Important Are Thumbs? The Lake Habitat Thermometer and A Day in the Life of a Paleontologist! Our resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for remedial students using simplified language and vocabulary. Science concepts are presented in a way that makes them more accessible to students and easier to understand. Comprised of reading passages, student activities, test prep, and color mini posters, our resource can be used effectively for test prep, whole-class, small group and independent work. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEM initiatives.
