Organisms are not isolated in their environment. Organisms must interact with other individuals of their own species, with other species, and with their physical environment. The study of the interactions between organisms and their environment is called ecology (Greek: oikos- house; logia- study). The study of ecology can encompass all aspects of Biology; from physiology to behavior, because any change within an organism has the potential to affect its relationship with the environment.
Ecological succession is the term for natural changes in an environment. This progression continues until a climax community is achieved.
An inherited characteristic that results from a change in a species over time is called an adaptation. Adaptations are traits or features that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environment, allowing them to be better suited for their specific ecological niche. These adaptations can be physical, behavioral, or physiological.
Adaptation is when a species is able to change over time to new changes in their environment.
Animals migrate because of changes in weather or local availability of food. This is either an annual change as in bird migration or as part of their life cycle as in Atlantic salmon.

There are 7 characteristics of life one of which is irritability, meaning an organism needs to be able to react to its environment, this characteristic or instinct is what causes organisms to react to their environment. The ability to ajust to this change in their environment is adaption.

Certain chemicals and radiation in the environment can cause a reaction or mutation in an organism. Such changes may alter organisms genotype or phenotype. Chemicals that induce changes in organisms DNA is called mutagens.

both, but the environment influences the organism more. this causes the organism to change and they start to influence the environment a.k.a THEY ADAPT
