Thu | 12/19/2019 | 12:08 Game of the Ages PhD student Fernando Blanco developed a digital quiz on his field of research, palaeoecology, with the App Kahoot! The visitors play the game on the screens and tablets in the experimental field. Fernando Blanco accompanies the quiz participants and talks to them about the quiz' contents. On the one hand, the project provides an insight into questions that visitors find exciting. At the same time, the quiz enables young visitors to become aware of the relationship between living beings and their environment in a playful way.

Thu | 12/19/2019 | 11:56 Strong Wasps PhD student Maraike Willsch decided to report on her thesis as a live speaker in the exhibitions. She engaged openly in conversation with visitors. Maraike Willsch worked for ten years in various positions at the museum and was enthusiastic about the possibility of the experimental field in the exhibitions "finally enabling a presentation of the research and collection in the sense of science communication". As part of her research, the evolutionary biologist uses 3D imaging techniques to investigate evolutionary developments.
Thu | 12/19/2019 | 11:53 The Museum Salon PhD student Guillaume Demare created an event during which scientists from the museum and visitors meet regularly for interdisciplinary exchange and the integration of the visitors' perspectives, as well as to gain new research ideas, and to network the scientists in the house more strongly both internally and externally for new opportunities for cooperation. In this way, our visitors get insights into various research projects and opportunities for personal exchange with academics. Following a moderated discussion between two scientists, spontaneous and fruitful conversations arose.

Biodiversity Fossils Morphology Ecosystem
Distribution of species varied independently with competition Biodiversity Fossils Morphology Ecosystem Press release, 12-12-2019 All species rely on resources such as food and suitable habitat. Competition over these resources could influence how many species are in a region and how geographically widespread are those species. If many species are present and competition is high their distributional areas should be smaller than at times when only a few species exist. Palaeontologists from the University of Oxford, the University of Erlangen, and the Naturkundemuseum Berlin suggest that competition may not be as important on large scales as prevailing theory would imply.

Mon | 12/09/2019 | 14:48 Cooperation with Museum of Natural History Leipzig The Dutch taxidermist Hermanus Hendrikus ter Meer, who lived and worked in Leipzig from 1907 to 1934, wrote international preparation history with the development of his demoplastic preparation method. He captured exactly the individuality of the animals and implemented this in his dermoplastics, which he thus portrayed as it were and showed social family structures. The preparations of ter Meers seem so close to life, as if the animal had only stopped for a moment. In a dermoplasty, animal bodies are modelled and covered with a tanned skin - a highly scientific and artistic work.
