SP2 Collection Future Research Transfer Biodiversity Citizen Science Society Knowing and Caring for Biodiversity How do the entanglements of humans, non-humans, and technologies produce specific modes of knowing about environments?
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Collection Evolution Amber forests Amber as a window to the past: Plant fossils enclosed in amber can be used to reconstruct past vegetation.
SP2 Collection Future Research Mammals Collection Günter Tembrock and the Red Foxes The path seemed to be paved for an ambitious research project, when Günter Tembrock received the approval of the German Academy of Sciences at Berlin in 1948 for establishing a new "Research Centre for Animal Psychology".
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Biodiversity Automated Multisensor Station for Monitoring of Species Diversity (AMMOD) Tracking biodiversity locally over long periods of time requires a great deal of effort. Microphones and computers could relieve researchers of field work.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Research Infrastructure Transfer Knowledge Transfer Protection of Species Biodiversity Eavesdropping on biodiversity loss Acoustic recording of animal species in a given area is costly. A sensor system co-developed at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin can provide reliable data quickly and cost-effectively.
SP3 Society and Nature Social Innovation Unit Research Transfer Open Museum Knowledge Transfer Science Communication Citizen Science Society Cooperation Science, together Citizens are invited to actively participate in scientific research. In a European project, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin collaborated with partner institutions and Citizen Scientists.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Extinction of Species Fossils Climate Change Protocols of a mass extinction At the end of the Permian, a large part of Earth's biodiversity disappeared. Researchers from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin are investigating previously unexplored sites for fossils from this time interval.
SP3 Society and Nature Social Innovation Unit Research Politics Knowledge Transfer Citizen Science Society Citizen Science “for our environment” The Federal Environment Agency examined the costs and benefits of Citizen Science in research projects. The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin provided input.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Biodiversity Fossils The leaves of the Cretaceous For a long time only comparatively few representatives of monocotyledonous plants from the Cretaceous period were known. A cabinet in Berlin contained new evidence of the earlier diversity.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Morphology Research Fossils Earth Sciences Searching for rainforests in Gondwana Fossils of typical rainforest plants are older than they are supposed to be according to the theory of the emergence of modern tropical rainforests. A researcher from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin traces back their origin.
Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery Research Morphology Collection Biodiversity Cooperation The barnacles of Eastern Indonesia About 120 years ago, zoologists from the Netherlands investigated barnacles of Eastern Indonesian islands. A researcher from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin follows their tracks.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Morphology Research Evolution Genetics Without legs through the ground Not much was known so far about the still little researched amphisbaenians. Researchers at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin get to the bottom of their development history.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Research Genomics Evolution Genetics Selection at work Adaptation to a new environment can quickly re-shape entire populations. Researchers at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin are investigating what traces this leaves in the genome.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Research Genomics Arms Races and trench warfare between host and parasite Genetic warfare: In their continuous conflict and coevolution, parasites and their host organisms go through phases that leave traces in their genomes.
