Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology

Publications of the Institute

Our institute uses MPG.PuRe (repository) to record the publications of its scientists. Unfortunately, our institute bibliography is not complete. The list should be complete from 1998 onwards. In addition, all publications of the former branch in Schlitz (river station) from 1949 to 2007 are included.
