In this paper, and in theoretical (evolutionary) biology in general, adaptation refers to goal-directed, i.e., functionally designed, phenotypic features (e.g., Thornhill 1990, 1997; Symons 1992; Williams 1992). As Williams (1992) put it, an adaptation is the material effect of response to selection ...
