The test was created by a team of researchers from our museum as part of its “Meta-Morphosis” project, directed by our colleague Dr. Anne-Claire Fabre. Amphibians are among the vertebrates most affected by climate change: over one third are at risk of extinction. However, amphibians that undergo more complex forms of metamorphosis may have a greater natural capacity to adapt in response to environmental changes. The Meta-Morphosis Project is testing this by studying the effect of metamorphosis complexity on the evolutionary diversification of salamanders. The results will increase our understanding of these remarkable creatures and focus conservation efforts toward those species at greatest risk of extinction. More informations.
Das Quiz «Welcher Dinosaurier bist du?» wurde von unserer Kommunikationsabteilung in Zusammenarbeit mit der Haus-Paläontologin Ursula Menkveld-Gfeller erstellt. Anlass war das Eröffnungsfest der Dauerausstellung «Mensch, Erde! – Das Klima im Wandel» im Oktober 2025. Seither ist das Quiz für alle zugänglich.
