DSMZ isthe only leading. centre for biological resourcesin
DSMZ staffare leading participantsinthe OECD initiative to defne Biological Resource Centres and other. bioinformation networking initiatives. Annually, they. publish more than 80 new species, strains and families. of prokaryotes and conduct ecological investigations indiverse habitats to determinethe population structureand species diversity.

IGB combines pure. research with conservation research as abasis for sustainable water management and focuses on biodiversityin lakes, rivers and groundwater. Nowhere elsein thecountry is there another institute addressing biodiversity research into inland waters on ascale comparable to that at IGB.

Sustainable and environmentally compatible spatial.development; landscape development and management of landscape, landscape change and biodiversity;. spatial planning and environmental planning, ecosystem services, environmental risks and risk prevention;. geodata and remote sensing; climate change, European. spatial development. Rolein biodiversity research. IOER investigatesthe impact of land-use and changesin land-use onthe various elements of biodiversity, especially landscape diversity (diversity of habitats and. ecosystems). Projects addressthe effects of settlement.development, especially suburbanisation, traffc development andthe concomitant landscape fragmentation,changesin open spaces and their structure, large-scale,cross-border habitat connectivity andthe effects of climate change on ecological diversityin towns. One. important aspect of research focuses onthe question. of how spatial science can contribute appropriate tools. for conserving and restoring ahigh level of biodiversity.
Examples of this includethe treatment of fallow land inurban areas andthe development of tools for proactive. local environmental planning that championsthe conservation of biodiversity.

Institute profle. Biodiversity, gene bank, molecular genetics, cell biology, physiology, bioinformatics, taxonomy, systemic. biology, biotechnology, genomics. Rolein biodiversity research. IPK isthe location ofthe federal ex situ gene bank of agricultural and horticultural plants. This is one of thelargest facilities of its kindinthe world and makes an. important contribution to conservingthe genetic diversity of our useful plants. Diversity research into crop. plants is amajor focus area atthe institute. Collection. related research focuses onthe continued improvement. of conservation management, addressing taxonomic. issues, as well as explaining speciation processes and. adaptations to different environmental conditions often closely related to them. Applied research addressesthe development of strategies to improvethe use of plant genetic resources for cultivation. Withthe help. of genome research and systemic biology approaches,for example, genesare specifcally identifedin order to elucidatethe processes driving evolution onthe molecular level and to identify new alleles by systematic. DNA sequencing of collection samples. In coordination. with other institutes IPK is involvedin implementing theNational Programme forthe Conservation and Sustainable Utilisation of Plant Genetic Resources of Agricultural and Horticultural Crops.

Rolein biodiversity researchthe Berlin Museum of Natural History engagesin thespace-time classifcation of biodiversity at local, regional and global level, as well as fromthe molecular scale. right up to whole ecosystems. It investigatesthe effective mechanisms involvedinthe emergence of new. species andthe restructuring of biological systems inpalaeontological studies ofthe animal and plant kingdoms of earlier geological eras,in “natural laboratories” like large old lakes, oceanic islands or coral reefs,as well asin it own natural history collections. To gaina. better understanding ofthe reaction patterns of living. nature to climate and environmental changes itt is also. essential to examinethe tolerance levels and adaptability of organisms and ecosystems.
To this end,the museum conducts research projectsin natural habitats throughoutthe world, collects organisms, classifes new species and maintains anatural. history collection of extinct and living organisms (including their genetic material) comprising more tha***
million objects. In its role as a“memory of life”the collection offers scientists from all overthe world acomprehensive research infrastructure. The museum is also. actively involvedin evaluating and communicating theimportance of biological diversity to society through. science-based exhibitions, many other public activities,contributions to communication research and political. consultancy.
