A portfolio of five short tutorial essays (1300-2200 words) I wrote in my first year as an undergraduate studying Biological Sciences at Jesus College, Oxford. Across the year, I was assigned 1o essays and 5 presentations, each of which were based on a specialist topic where I had a week to research, prepare and complete my work. These five essays were the ones that I enjoyed learning about and reporting on the most: 1. With reference to invertebrate examples, what is life like at very small scales? ![]()
2. What is an adaptation? ![]()
3. The advantages and consequences of holometabolous development in insects ![]()
4. What is inbreeding, what factors influence it and why is it such a problem in rare or threatened species in in-situ and ex-situ conservation programmes? ![]()
5. Adaptations of vertebrates to extreme polar environments ![]()
