After the tutorial today I need to concentrate on a larger narrative that is stronger. What I have is a basic understanding and I just need to refine this. So I started at the word 'adapt' as this to me is the link between all parts.

What
Does Adaptation Mean?
The
special characteristics that enable plants and animals to be successful
in a particular environment are called adaptations.
Camouflage, as in a toad's ability to blend in with its
surroundings, is a common example of an adaptation. The combination of
bright orange and black on a monarch butterfly is an adaptation to warn
potential predators that the butterfly is poisonous and prevent it from
being eaten. These special features have evolved over long periods of time,
through the process of natural selection. Adaptations afford the organism
a better chance to survive in its surroundings.
New 'super rats' evolve resistance to poison
"Rats across Britain are evolving a resistance to poison that makes them almost impossible to kill, scientists have warned..."
"...Genetic mutations have produced a new breed of "super rat" with DNA that
protects the vermin from standard toxins, according to Professor Robert
Smith at the University of Huddersfield..."
"...There are now thought to be around 80 million rats in Britain, a rise of more than 200 per cent since 2007..."
