Coloration Adaptation

Coloration Adaptation is a morphological adaptation in mammals whereby specific pigmentation patterns or hues evolve to enhance survival through mechanisms such as camouflage, warning signaling, or thermoregulation, distinguishing it from other physiological or behavioral adaptations by its direct reliance on visual properties for ecological fitness.
