Written primarily for 16-to-19-year-old students, this primer provides a highly accessible overview of key elements of reproduction in humans and a wide range of animals and plants.Reproduction Biology introduces the main approaches and strategies that organisms use to reproduce and ensure the survival of their young, including sexual and asexual reproduction, ways of attracting pollinators or mates, and parenting behaviours. It explains why different species have evolved completely different strategies to ensure their reproductive success by placing these strategies in the context of the specific challenges that they help overcome. The primer also highlights the impact of emerging environmental challenges, such as climate change and plant diseases, and considers cutting-edge research that offers new opportunities in the field of human reproduction, such as the development of new forms of contraception. Key features- Oxford Biology Primers are the only resource to introduce prospective and current students of undergraduate-level bioscience to a range of topics from this dynamic experimental science, enticing readers to study further- Its titles directly support two key transitions in the student journey: from school to undergraduate-level study, and from undergraduate to independent researcher- Its modular format offers a high degree of flexibility, with teachers being able to draw on specific volumes that augment the post-16 curriculum, university lecturers being able to dra
