The object adapter pattern is often used when you need to adapt a legacy class by containing an instance of it within a new adapter class.

In recent projects, I implemented several object adapter patterns to connect legacy modules to the new service interface.

In our code review, we identified several class adapter patterns that could be simplified to improve maintainability.

Following initial detection by macrophages, the adaptive immune system mounts a targeted response to eliminate the pathogen.

Many biologists criticized adaptationism for ignoring the role of genetic drift and developmental constraints.

The adaptationist argued that many seemingly maladaptive traits actually result from complex trade-offs during evolution.

Some adaptationists argue that complex traits evolved primarily through natural selection rather than genetic drift.

Many microorganisms adaptationally shift their metabolic pathways when exposed to antibiotics.
