Killifish, or egg-laying toothcarps, are known for their ecological adaptability and species diversity. Two families of killifish exist in Europe today: the highly species-rich Aphaniidae and the relatively species-poor Valenciidae, which has just three species. How these differences in species diversity originated is one of the questions that the group of Professor Bettina Reichenbacher investigates.

The question as to whether morality is innate has been hotly debated in developmental psychology for decades. Studies have yielded mixed results, although a series of studies suggested that infants already have an understanding of situations in which moral action is required, and that they prefer characters who are good. These findings were seen as evidence that morality is innate. Now research teams from around the world have joined forces in a replication study to test previous findings.
