Should I stay or should I go? Immune function as a driver of partial migration Blackbirds are partial migrants – meaning that some individuals will migrate during winter, whilst others will remain resident all year round. Our project aims to find out what drives these decisions. In particular, we are looking at whether the immune system of each bird plays a role. Each summer our team catches, mark

Sometimes, we need help with our research. If many people are involved, we can collect a lot of data covering large areas. When researchers and the general public work together with science, it is called citizen science. When you participate in citizen science projects, you get a chance to engage in questions that interest you. And we get more data than we can collect ourselves. We also get a chan

Natural history museums are fundamental for understanding life on Earth as we undergo unprecedented loss of biodiversity and climate change through the actions of humans. With more than 250 years of records, the Biological Museum at Lund University plays a central role in research on the biodiversity crisis as well as the effects of climate change on our fauna and flora. Our collections hold abou

Botanical museum (LD) Our collections date back to the end of the 16th century, but most have been collected over the past 200 years. The largest collections are vascular plants, but extensive collections also include algae, lichens, bryophytes and fungi. The total number of specimens has been calculated at approximately 2.5 million copies. The fungi hazel gloves. The herbarium houses plants from

Department code: MZLU With 3.8 million databased specimens and with a large number remaining to be registered, the entomological collections are one of the largest in the Nordic countries, and they are very important both nationally and internationally. The collections include among other things the second oldest insect collection in the world, donated by Kilian Stobaeus in 1735. The collections c

Department code: MZLU The museum's zoological collection has its origins in Kilian Stobaeus' donation to the university in 1735. From the time we started as one of Sweden's first curiosity cabinets, we are today a well-attended and appreciated research collection. A cranium from a babirusa.
