扩展适应

扩展适应（英语：exaptation）是指在演化过程中一种特征的功能发生了变化。例如，如果一个特征最初演化出来是为了实现某种特定的功能，但后来它又有了另一种其他用途，就可称之为“扩展适应”。鸟类羽毛的演化便是一个经典的例子：羽毛最初是为了保温而演化出来的，但在后来羽毛变得开始适应于飞翔。对扩展适应的兴趣与进化的过程和产物都息息相关：创造复杂特征（英语：Complex traits）的过程和可能不完善的产物（功能，解剖结构，生化试剂等等）^[1]^[2] 。扩展适应是由美国古生物学家斯蒂芬·古尔德（Stephen Jay Gould）和伊丽莎白·弗巴（英语：Elisabeth Vrba）（Elisabeth Vrba）提出的，以取代他们认为是目的论的术语“预适应”（英语：pre-adaptation）^[3]。

历史和定义

查尔斯·达尔文

特征的功能在其进化历史中可能发生变化的想法起源于查尔斯·达尔文（Charles Darwin）（(Darwin 1859)）。多年以来，这种现象被标记为“预适应”，但由于“预适应”这一术语隐含了生物学中的目的论，与自然选择的基本原理相悖，故现已被“扩展适应”所取代^[4]。

1982年，斯蒂芬·古尔德和伊丽莎白·弗巴（英语：Elisabeth Vrba）引入了“扩展适应”一词，这是一些学者们^[a]探索的想法。

实例

扩展适应包括羽毛的共同选择，羽毛最初是为用于保温的和用于展示的功能而演化的，后来被用于鸟类的飞行。另一个例子则是早期鱼类的肺，它们后来演化为陆生脊椎动物的肺，但同时还通过扩展适应成为了一些鱼类体内用来调节浮力的器官——鳔。^[7]
