Adaptive Evolution

Adaptive Evolution is a process within evolutionary biology in which genetic changes that enhance organismal fitness in a specific environment are fixed in a population through natural selection, distinguished from neutral or deleterious evolutionary changes by their contribution to improved adaptation at the molecular, phenotypic, or functional level.
