Behavioral acclimatization in the environmental context refers to the process by which organisms adjust their behavior in response to changes in their environment to maintain optimal physiological performance and survival.

Through behavioral changes, organisms can temporarily or permanently adapt to new conditions without the need for genetic evolution, providing a more immediate form of adaptation.
