Really looking forward to seeing Year 11 again - we have great bridging lessons planned in Biology, Chemistry and Physics plus please be ready ask us all your questions about the courses. See you all this week!
Very interesting case of island miniaturisation - where a small area can’t support larger versions of an animal species so it decreases in size by natural selection.
Researchers have sequenced the first-ever ancient DNA from the tiny elephants that used to live on Sicily.
It has revealed how their giant ancestors rapidly shrunk in size, shedding at least 8,000kg - or 85% of their weight - over just 20 generations 🐘
