Co-Adaptation of Organisms & their Survival in Local Environments

co-adaptation - co-adaptation is when two different organisms develop behaviours or physical characteristics that help them work together. For instance, some flowers have developed "landing pads" for honeybees. This means that the bees can collect nectar and pollen for themselves, and also help to make more flowers grow by carrying pollen to other flowers.
migrate - some animals migrate when seasons change. Migration is when animals move to warmer climates for the winter months, and then return to the cooler climates for the summer. Many birds migrate in the Northern Hemisphere. They fly south for the winter and fly north for the summer.
