Press release, 24-07-2024 Extinction of Species Biodiversity Climate Change Nature High loss of species in Berlin The team of the Research Cluster “NaturBerlin” at the Museum für Naturkunde has published a study on species loss in Berlin. The results reveal a species loss of 16% since the end of the 17th century and demonstrate that the loss of species depends on increasing urbanisation as well as the geographi Press release, 12-04-2024 Extinction of Species Research Genomics Collection Mammals Why European colonization drove the blue antelope to extinction Genomic data shed light on the evolutionary history and extinction of the blue antelope.

Press release, 08-11-2022 Extinction of Species Biodiversity Ecosystem Extinct and discovered: Germany's oldest freshwater shrimp An international team of researchers led by the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin has described Europe's first fossil freshwater shrimp species in the journal Scientific Reports.

Researchers from the museum and the University of Erlangen investigated extinction events with rapid global warming over the past 300 million years.

The new approach requires minimal low-cost materials and is simple enough to be carried out by everyone at the site of discovery and complements the scientific expertise of researchers.
