The eels of each species were divided into four groups, each containing approximately 25 specimens and acclimated for two weeks prior to the experimentation.
The species within the assemblage will acclimate to the imposed conditions within the limits of their genetic potential and environmental constraints.
Plants were allowed to acclimate in the pots for several weeks at the field sites prior to their placement into the experimental systems.
Although the legume-rhizobia symbiosis is considered sensitive to excess of water, individual nodules are able to acclimate in a period of days to reduced oxygen.
The retinal slice was allowed to acclimate to the per fusion chamber for 30 min before whole-cell recordings were attempted.
Species may differ both in their optimal light requirement and the extent to which they can acclimate to different light conditions.
However, this effect is transient, and dissipated when the rats became acclimated to the new environment so that it was no longer stressful.
Mosquitoes were acclimated for 30 min, after which the gate was opened and the insects were free to move out of the holding tube.
