Det här är ett riktigt spännande projekt där vi ska sätta ut konstgjorda rev för att gynna torsken i Hanöbukten säger Helena Filipsson och Karl Ljung på geologiska institutionen. Vi bidrar med kunskap om bottenmiljön och de hydrografiska förutsättningarna. Arbetet sker i gott samarbete med Biologiska institutionen LU, Marint centrum i Simrishamn och medborgarinitiativet Hanö Torskrev. Mer info: ht

Ny policy brief om Svenskt grundvatten publicerad av SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute visar på: att vår grundvattenresurs "är sårbar för förändrade klimatförhållanden, överutnyttjande och föroreningar. Mer underlag och kunskap behöver samlas in och spridas för att skydda grundvattnet i samhället och för ekosystemen. Grundvattenhanteringen i Sverige är splittrad över många aktörer me

How credible are research results? A new biology study shows that the same data can give different answers depending on the method of analysis used – raising questions about the stability of scientific conclusions. To strengthen credibility, researchers need to be better at accounting for their methods. Ever since the 17th century, when modern scientific research was born, methods have been refine

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

Humans and animals are not the only ones affected by viruses. Unicellular organisms can also be attacked. In a new study, scientists establish that green algae can carry latent giant virus DNA in their genome. Biology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have spent several years studying microorganisms isolated from Lake Krageholm in Skåne and Lake Örsjön in Småland. During the most recent ele

Øystein Opedal, associate senior lecturer at the Department of Biology, has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Congratulations, Øystein! Can you tell us a little about your project?“The project aims to better understand how plants adapt to new pollination environments, such as declining pollinator populations or local changes in the diversity of pollinator species. We know quite a lot about how p

Dung beetles are among the strongest animals in the world. They also possess an exceptional ability to cooperate. Research shows that female and male spider dung beetles together are able to move large dung balls across difficult obstacles. However, same-sex attempts to do the same always ended in aggressive fights. Dung beetles live in and on animal droppings. By breaking down organic substances,

Andreas Nord, a researcher at the Department of Biology, will receive EUR 2 million to study how warm-blooded animals are affected as the climate becomes warmer and more unpredictable. As part of the project, he will study different species of birds to determine how quickly heat tolerance could evolve and what will happen to our bird populations if tolerance fails to adapt. In the final part, Nord

Bumblebees have a great capacity to navigate despite their small brain size. This is borne out of new research conducted at Lund University in Sweden, among others. The research results can potentially benefit the development of navigation robots in crisis situations where GPS does not work, for example. According to the study, bumblebees appear capable of navigating as well as vertebrates can, an

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied how nanoplastic affects aquatic organisms in lakes and rivers. The results are surprising, and the researchers are the first to show that some species are being wiped out, while others – such as cyanobacteria that contribute to algal blooms – are completely unaffected. Every year, the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans increases by between

A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h

A new study from Lund University shows that migratory birds fly most efficiently at moderate speeds – precisely the pace they use during their long journeys across continents. Now, at the end of summer, when thrush nightingales leave Sweden for Southern Africa, they don’t fly flat out. Instead, they cruise at a steady pace – and according to the study from Lund, that’s no coincidence.Migratory bir
