Q: Explain how species adapt to changing environments to enhance survival and reproductive success, including changes in structure, behavior, or physiology and give examples.
By Zip Whittle
Throughout history organisms have adapted to their changing environments in order to enhance their survival and reproductive success. Successful transformations have involved bringing sexual partners closer to a creature's natural habitat, finding adaptive advantages within ecological limitations and developing the use colorful marks in order to confuse and disorient your enemies. These behavioral and structural alterations have been implemented both through biological evolution and organic realization.
For most of the 20th Century, the halls of smoky-filled arenas were filled with professional wrestlers each limited in their ability to seek appropriate mating partners. Often, wrestlers would be forced to take turns with rats and stunt grannies in order to fulfill their carnal urges. However, in the 1980s an adaptation displayed by promoters uncovered a new way to satisfy the wrestler's insatiable sexual cravings. Instead of traveling town to town searching for lustful encounters, the promoters would simply bring along a female valet. For instance, World Class Championship Wrestling hired Missy Hyatt in 1985 for the purposes of satisfying the wrestler's wanton carnal hankerings when confused young ring boys simply would not do. Some scientists speculated that this adaptation could not be further improved. However, nature continues to amaze and prevail. In 2004, the world was stunned to learn that within the nesting environment of Vincacious McMahonicus a new species, DIVASEARCH DIMWITICUS, had been discovered! Research into this whole new genus had already led to breakthroughs in many fields including luggage/fecal matter cleaning innovations as well as explaining the rise of back injuries among blonds in Kentucky (the so-called Billard-Rogers conundrum).
Millions of years ago, many giant dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Yet, after the Xenu coordinated the asteroid strike on the planet, it was the smaller, more agile creatures which survived to the next age. While the towering Tyrannosaurus Rex struggled to find enough food to eat and eventually became extinct, fossil records demonstrate that the smaller, cleverer Velociraptor survived much longer. While brain size (especially in ratio to body mass) could have played a role in the positive adaptations which benefited the Raptors, there were other behavioral differences which benefited the one species of terrible thunder lizard far greater than the other. While both faced with the same changing planetscape and similar predators, the Velociraptor was better adapted to the new environment. Similarly, the modern saga of the "Big Man" in professional wrestling has always pitted natural enemies: Behemoths vs. Gravity. Compare "Psycho" Sid Euly to Nathan "Wacky Spinkick" Jones. Neither rain nor snow nor squeegees nor softball season nor prison could fully stop either lumbering beast. However, the powerful ability of being "absolutely batshit crazy" has preserved Jones in relative good health while Euly career ended following a horrific bone breakage from lack of sufficient calcium in his weekly steroids. Again, we see that within creatures of the same size, mental capacity will play an important role.
In nature, the use of color has always had an interesting correlation to both speed and craziness. In the beginning there was the Destroyer (DESTROYER EXECO), and it was good. While the speed was slow, the sanity was normal. But lo, as time rolled on, the mask evolved. Masks added colors, horns, levers and eventually when combined Paso devaluation these entire species evolved. This new class was quicker but far more insane with notable examples such as such Nicho Psicosis (WATERPISTOLIO INSANACO). This remarkable evolution has come so far that in some remote locations, like Australia, the creatures are known to remove all their clothes (including the distinctive masks) and operate in the broad daylight (see Juvi Guerrera -NAKEDONE INSANACO).
A parasite is a life form that has evolutionally adapted the phylogenetically ability to feed off another living organism's resources in a non-symbiotic fashion. A prime example would be the Brock Lesnar (species: CARNIVORA SOUTHDAKOTIUS) and Rena "Sable" Mero (MILFANIOUS HAGGARDFACIOUS). With each successive ridiculous chest tattoo, the female indvidiaul borrows further into the checkbook of the male. After a series of several years and several pounds of drug medication, the creatures become completely inseparable. This adaptation can also be seen in other places in the animal kingdom such as K-Fed/Brittany and Helter Skelter/Indy Wrestling.
As you can clearly see, species adapt to changing environments to enhance survival and reproductive success.
