Forshungs Institut Und Natur Museum Senckenberg
(SMF) The mollusc collection consists of both Recent and fossil Tertiary molluscs and is one of the worlds major research collections. Actually it contains about 30,000 speciessubspecies of Recent molluscs (the Pulmonates making up about half of this number) and ca. 8,500 Tertiary fossil taxa. It comprises about 0.6 million lots including ca. 7,000 primary type specimens. Coverage is worldwide. Most important is the collection of land- and freshwater species which is particularly strong in material from the Palearctic and Asia (Thailand, China, Japan, Philippine Islands). Especially well represented are the freshwater bivalves and among the gastropods families such as the Cyclophoridae, Hydrobioidea, Pupillidae, Clausiliidae, Camaenidae and Helicidae. The marine collection includes major holdings from the European seas, the Eastern Atlantik, the Caribbean, the Red Sea and SE-Asia. Strength of the fossil collection is the European Tertiary, especially Oligocene and Neogene faunas.

It is made up of extensive dry material (shells) housed in cabinets with approx. 1,730.80 sq. m. surface area as well as of specimens that are preserved in alcohol (approx. 520 sq. m. shelf space). Next to the systematic main collection we hold about a dozen formerly private collections.

(+49) 40- 428.38.3880 * Fax(+49) +40- 428.38.3937 -Vergleichende Analyse der Landschnecken-Radiationen auf Kreta -Auf Kreta haben mehrere Radiationen von Landschneckengruppen stattgefunden. Wir untersuchen die Hypothese, dass diese Radiationen das Ergebnis einer geographischen Aufteilung von Kreta in mehrere Paloinseln whrend des spten Miozns und des Pliozns sind und dass die darauffolgenden allopatrischen Artaufspaltungen auf den isolierten Paloinseln zu berwiegend nicht-adaptiven Radiationen gefhrt haben, so dass sich die kologischen Nischen der meisten der vikariierenden Arten kaum unterscheiden. Wir arbeiten insbesondere an der Systematik und der Phylogenie der endemischen Radiationen der xerophilen Hygromiiden. Im Rahmen diese Projektes untersuchen wir auch die Mglichkeiten und Grenzen von DNA Taxonomie.
