An exploration of evolutionary restraints on small organism sizes. This masterclass will discuss surface volume to area ratios, and their impact on the physiology and behaviour of organisms. By the end of this masterclass, students will be able to explain why Jurassic butterflies had one metre wingspans and why we need never fear the 50 foot insect monsters of horror movies.
Hosts: We have a range of evolutionary masterclass hosts, all Oxbridge-educated Biologists. The host will be confirmed upon booking
