Acclimatization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (435 words) |
 | It is a common misconception that acclimatization and acclimation are synonymous. |
| This may be a discrete occurrence or may instead represent part of a periodic cycle, such as a mammal shedding heavy winter fur in favour of a lighter summer coat. |
| Where acclimitization occurs naturally, in the field of physiology acclimation is used to describe the process of an organism being forced to adjust to changes in their environment by artificial means, such as in a laboratory setting (Schmidt-Neilsen 1990). |
