Naturhistorisk museums serie med fagseminar om biologisk og geologisk mangfold og de naturprosesser som former dette mangfoldet.
Konseptet tangled bank refererer til den avsluttende paragrafen i Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species (1859):
[. . .] It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. [. . .]
As a measure to prevent spread of Coronavirus the seminar has been cancelled.
