Ectothermic animals in evolution

Wärme – Keim der Verbindung und der Verwandlung·Johannes Wirz·27 February 2026·51 minSubtitles: Deutsch · English

Description

A contribution by Johannes Wirz

Johannes Wirz takes us on his journey from the genetics of the fruit fly to the living observation of amphibians, insects and finally bees in their natural habitat. He shows how unimaginably diverse invertebrate animals are, why bee colonies seem almost like mammals and how closely every animal is interwoven with its ecological niche – a fascinating, surprisingly poetic view of the animal world.

A contribution by Johannes Wirz to the 2025 Autumn Conference of the Natural Science Section at the Goetheanum.
