The hideous Tyranids (Warhammer 40000) are known for being masters of Adaptation.
Introduction
Adaptation is the ability to survive and adapt to different situations and natural environments.
This can include developing abilities to breathe underwater or in air with variable compositions, withstand different atmospheric pressures, live in much colder or hotter climates, see in greater darkness, develop camouflage colouring to hide from threats, etcetera.
As opposed to Reactive Evolution, Adaptation only gives a character the ability to balance the resources of its current body, not to, for example, grow more durable or powerful.
