Amazon mollies manage to maintain a healthy genome even without sexual reproduction. A new study, in which a team from the University of Würzburg was involved, shows which mechanisms are responsible for this.

Researchers at the University of Würzburg have identified a considerable number of wild bee species on the Hubland Campus. Some of the university's measures provide suitable habitats and thus promote biodiversity.

Villages can provide important habitats for insects. A new study by the University of Würzburg shows which areas in rural settlements are particularly rich in species – and where there is still room for improvement.

Up to half of the insects in the Amazon region could be exposed to life-threatening heat levels due to progressive, anthropogenic global warming. This is shown by a recent study by the universities of Würzburg and Bremen.
