Question

explain why the process of acclimation to temperature is not an evoulutionary process; and discuss how evidence that organisms are adapted to a restricted range of temperature supports the principle of allocation

Answer 1

Acclimation is a process in which an individual organisms adjusts to change in its environment allowing to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions. Acclimation is not considered as evolutionary process because it comes under controlled conditions or natural conditions that refers to change during a lifetime of genotype whereas adaptation of an organism over several generations is considered as evolutionary process within a populations or species.

As restricted range of temperature more ad more apparent , adaptation has become urgent, they include sea level rise, increased temperature, changing precipitation patterns. Allocation issue quite different for adaptation and mitigation, but interactions and synergies include allocation. Three allocation principles to be met and combined with possible trade -off , needs , performance and transparency. A relevant criterion is the countries vulnerability to restricted range of temperature. With a minor weight and major weight will be designed from the observed capacity to implement adaptation and equity criteria for adaptation resources will include an index of vulnerability.

Whether a given high temperature is stressful depends on the heat tolerance of a species, and it differs substantially, even among taxa in a local environment. Individuals within a population can also differ in thermal sensitivity . Thus not all organisms in a given conditions will experience a stress event if even Ta is relatively high for that site.
