Evolutionary genetics, morphology, and developmental biology of the limbs in vertebrates
The focus of the project lies on the genetic basis of limb development in vertebrates. Of particular interest are morphological pecularities which are releated to ecological specialisation.

Neighbourhood test: Agriculture and conservation
Conventional agriculture uses pesticides, while organic farming limits their use to a minimum. Researchers investigate how this affects the biodiversity of neighbouring nature reserves.

Isotope laboratory
They are atoms of the same element, almost identical chemically, but with different weight nuclei: isotopes tell researchers a lot about the material in which they are.

Freshwater mollusc biogeography of Wallacea
The biogeography of freshwater molluscs in Wallacea has been influenced significantly by abiotic factors. The colonization of islands was driven by active and passive dispersal as well as vicaricance.

Effects of meteorite impacts
If a cosmic object is threatening to impact Earth fast predictions of the consequences will be provided by the usage of a database containing numerous pre-processed models of likely impact scenarios.

Functional cranial morphology of cetaceans
Cranial asymmetry is known in odontocetes that can hear ultrasound and has been linked to the split function of the nasal passage in breathing and vocalization. Mysticete crania are as symmetric as those of terrestrial artiodactyls and archaeocetes, without significant differences within Mysticeti.

Internal anatomy of ear bones and the evolution of low frequency hearing in baleen whales
Low-frequency hearing limits are connected to longer cochleae and relatively larger cranial widths. Very LF hearing in Mysticeti appeared in the middle Miocene, and mysticete infrasonic hearing had evolved by the late Miocene.

Cooperation
Cooperations
Research museums such as the Museum für Naturkunde do not work in isolation, but are always part of national and international networks. Networking with other research institutions and policy stakeholders promotes exchange and is the driving force behind innovative research. More about the Memberships of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin you can find here.
