Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.

Question

11. Can you think of any biological structure in a given environment where the most adaptive state
may actually be the condition where the SA:V ratio is actually minimized? In other words, when
may it be a selective disadvantage to have a high surface area relative to the given volume?
