Galapagos Lives
- Alternative title
- Galapagos: Research in the Field
- Synopsis
- Against the stunning background of one of the Earth’s most inaccessible and unspoilt landscapes, the programme follows two scientific researchers. Beatrix Schramm is working against the clock to try and learn more about what triggers giant tortoises, who are faced with extinction, to mate, by analysing their hormones. Martin Wikelski is studying the marine iguanas and how their feeding habits are upset by El Nino - when the current which sweeps past South America is shifted, raising sea levels in the Pacific and profoundly affecting wildlife.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
