Evolution of diversity in large herbivores
Diversity patterns are the result of complex deep-time interactions between bio-abiotic factors. Researchers from the MfN investigate are investigate which factors affected to large herbivorous herbivores during the Cenozoic.

African antelopes in the ice age
Climatic changes during the ice age influenced the distribution of antelope species throughout Africa. In the case of the South African bluebuck, a fatal factor came into play at a later stage.

Knowledge “to go”
Researchers are asked to make their knowledge accessible to society. The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin can look back on a long tradition in this regard, but now addresses knowledge transfer once again.

Lifestyles of mammals
Mammals have adapted to occupy various environments, including the land, the air and the water. But not all evolutionary adaptations are as clearly recognizable as legs, wings or flippers.

Darwin Finches 2.0
Computer models show how species evolve in isolated habitats and how many thousands of years of evolutionary history can be lost if humans arrive.

Brachiopods can see the light
Already in the 19th century, zoologists noticed up to 16 pigment spots in the front part of certain brachiopod larvae. Since these larvae react to light their pigment spots were assumed to represent eye-like photoreceptors.

Opinion Boxes
Between September 2017 and May 2018, visitors found boxes in front of various objects in the permanent exhibitions, asking for their opinions on ethical issues. The opinion boxes are temporary exhibition elements in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and were conceived as part of a co-design process as part of the third-party funding project Visitor Participation. The construction and development (production of the boxes, programming, insertion and card output module) was carried out in cooperation with the interaction designer Michael Jurisch.

Wasp named after magical wand from Harry Potter
In January we presented this new wasp species of the genus Dolichurus to our visitors. It lives in Papua New Guinea and belongs to the family of cockroach wasps. We received numerous name suggestions - from visitors to the exhibitions, but also by e-mail - and selected the 10 most suitable names with a jury. In a second round, our visitors chose the most popular name in the exhibitions: elderus, named after the Elder Wand from the Harry Potter books.
