| A project may also affect the vulnerability of natural and human systems to climate change and could therefore lead to maladaptation. |
|
| Travel across time zones is often associated with feelings of malaise or maladaptation, particularly in the first days of the new time zone. |
|
| They saw adaptive management as a possible way to avoid the disadvantages associated with maladaptation. |
|
| More complex models with linked genetics and epistasis and more complex demography will likely show even more complex patchworks of maladaptation across landscapes. |
|
| Societal problems are basically problems of human interaction and conflict or individual maladaptation to conditions within society. |
|
| The meeting also considered the possible positive and negative impacts of adaptation activities on biodiversity and ecosystem services and proposed some methods to avoid maladaptation. |
|
| But without a tool to assess the impact of a project on adaptive capacity, it is difficult for project planners and managers to introduce activities that foster adaptation and minimize maladaptation. |
|
| Other participants indicated that the purpose of indicators is not only to monitor technology transfer, but also to evaluate whether the implementation has been successful or whether it has resulted in maladaptation. |
|
| In many cases, the benefits of improved economic and governance capacity have been more than offset by reduced resilience due to maladaptation to the increased frequency and severity of shocks. |
|
| However this statement is questionable because personality could be negatively affected by maladaptation to shiftwork instead of the other way around. |
|
| Such maladaptation is likely if the resilience of ecosystems or the consequences of human interventions on all people sharing the same ecosystem are not taken into account. |
|
| An example of a maladaptation came from the James Smith First Nation where a dramatic die-off of cattle led to the collapse of the economic base in the community and the introduction of the welfare system. |
|
| Natural selection reduces genetic variation by eliminating maladapted individuals, and consequently the mutations that caused the maladaptation. |
|
| These challenges will require further study and suggestions towards specific measures to take in order to preserve this dynamic area and avoid maladaptation in the face of climate change. |
|
| Austria stressed that some questions, such as those related to low-frequency high-impact events, are difficult to answer, but that answers are necessary to avoid maladaptation. |
|
| This is particularly true for investments in infrastructure, the cost and useful life of which make them sensitive to climate fluctuations and the risk of maladaptation. |
|
| If priority for safety is not supported consistently by other systems or the parts of the system do not interact harmoniously, the result can only be a maladaptation. |
