For the following two scenarios below, which is an example of an adaptation and which is acclimation (2 points)? Explain why, and compare and contrast both strategies (adaptation and acclimation) as potential mechanisms by which species might respond to environmental change (4 points). A. In a population of snails, average shell thickness increases over several generations when a predatory crab is present in their ecological community. B. A population of sheep grow much thicker wool coats than they did in the previous year, after moving from a temperate region to a significantly cooler area.
