SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Science Communication Collection Biodiversity Fossils Radiolarian taxonomy New species descriptions and cooperatively building online international community taxonomic catalogs are essential foundations for our other research
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Evolution Earth Sciences Climate Change Plankton evolution and geochemical cycles We study how plankton evolution is influenced by climate change over geologic time, but also partially controls climate via linked geochemical cycles, e.g. carbon and nutrient elements.

SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Biodiversity Evolution Fossils Radiolarian biodiversity dynamics We are comparing the history of Neogene radiolarian faunas from contrasting environments in different latitudes to understand what controls plankton biodiversity.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Database Fossils Earth Sciences Cooperation NSB Database The NSB fossil marine plankton database, initiated and led by MfN scientists, supports international research on plankton taxonomy, paleobiology and paleoceanography.
Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Morphology Protection of Species Biodiversity Trait changes in selected arthropod species along spatio-temporal gradients from natural to urban/agricultural landscapes The effects of rising urbanisation on persisting insect species in the area of Berlin-Brandenburg along spatio-temporal gradients will be examined (Morphology, Isotopes).

Calcium clues to the formation of the Earth-Moon system Calcium is a key constituent of rock-forming minerals and thus can yield clues about the material that went on to form the Solar System’s rocky planets
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Amphibians Protection of Species Biodiversity Herpetofauna community responses to logging in Bornean production forests Assessing variation in reptile and amphibian community structure, abundance and recovery under varying logging regimes in Borneo.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Morphology Research Morphology Amphibians Evolution The Evolution of regenerative capacities in tetrapod limbs: A deep time perspective combining extant and fossil data Research of regeneration capacities of tetrapods with regard to ecology, ontogeny and life-histories strategies using morphology, histology, 3D reconstructions and computer microtomography.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Morphology Research Morphology Amphibians Evolution Insights into salamander limb development Salamanders are the only known tetrapods that form their limbs in a non-conserved manner due to their reversed polarity. I am interested in understanding how this formation pattern occurs.

Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Mammals Evolution The evolution of mammalian natal dispersal patterns Natal dispersal is found among virtually all animals affecting demography, genetic structures and the evolution of social behaviour. As a key life history trait, natal dispersal patterns have been studied for over 40 years but their evolution is still subject to much debate.

SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Database Extinction of Species Biodiversity Evolution Fossils Understanding the role of environmental tolerances of species in macroevolution Investigating the effects of mass extinctions and standing biodiversity on the niche breadth of species
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Extinction of Species Biodiversity Evolution Scallops versus oysters: The effects of physiological traits on the evolutionary success of two bivalve clades Differences in physiological properties of faunal groups may result in different evolutionary histories. We test this hypothesis with two well-studied groups of bivalves
