The discoveries were made by a scientific consortium led by Professor Eleanor Scerri of the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (MPI-GEA) and the University of Malta. At the cave site of Latnija ...

“Our work shows that the emergence of complexity in life isn’t limited to a few special branches on the tree of life—it’s a deeper property, present even in lineages we’ve long overlooked,” noted ...

It is therefore quite conceivable that the urban environment can affect the colour of animals. Led by Bart Kempenaers, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence and the ...

The scientists at the Max Planck Society are committed to keeping the number of animal experiments as well as the strain on the animals as low as possible in the individual experiments. They apply the ...
