is endemic to the Greater Cape Floristic Region. With the elongated forelegs it collects floral oil from the spurs of its host plants of the genus Diascia. By courtesy of Michael Kuhlmann.

Darwintag 2019

Ein ganzer Schultag evolutionsbiologische Spitzenforschung: Über 1000 Schüler nehmen Jahr für Jahr am Kieler Darwintag teil.

Seit seiner Einführung anlässlich Charles Darwins 200. Geburtstag in 2009 hat sich dieses Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Kieler Zoologischen Museums, des Zoologischen Instituts der CAU und des Kiel Evolution Centers zu einem festen Bestandteil im Kalender vieler Schulen in ganz Schleswig-Holstein entwickelt.

Programm 2019: Ich bin viele - Evolution der Zusammenarbeit mit Mikroorganismen
