The mutations or other changes are adaptations.
Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism. If these mutations help an organism survive in its environment, it would be considered an adaption.

The animals adapt to the harsh changes in climate over time. (:animals survive the tundra because they have blubber. and most animals camouflage into the eviornment.They evolved to.
In general, there is no direct relationship. In some cases the environment can damage genes and cause mutations. In a few cases, the environmental factors will determine certain traits, for instance alligator gender is affected by the temperature of their egg mounds.
