The ability of populations to evolve in response to changing environmental conditions.
| Adaptability doesn't apply just to populations, or biology, though here the adaptation explicitly is evolutionary, and that is rather than ecological or physiological, whereas with other systems, including both individuals and not biology, it instead is closer to the latter that is the case. |
Adaptability is basically the ability of a population to adapt. Less adaptable populations not only will not tend to thrive given changing environmental conditions, but also will have a greater potential to go extinct, particularly in response to those changing environmental conditions.
