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

Eric Warrant, a professor at the Department of Biology, has received an ERC Advanced Grant for his project “Incredible journeys: How do multiple sensory cues allow animal migrants to precisely navigate to a distant goal?” Congratulations Eric, how does it feel?“Very gratifying! This is my second Advanced Grant and it feels like a good confirmation that we are on the right path with our research.”C

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

Staffan Bensch, professor at the Department of Biology, receives an ERC Advanced Grant for his project “Genetics of long-distance migration”. Congratulations Staffan, how does it feel?”It still feels quite surreal. I worked for a very long time on the application, which I submitted a year ago. The decision that came in June was initially a rejection, then changed to reserve, and after three months

High above us, the atmosphere is teeming with life. Birds, bats and insects share the airspace, but divide it into different lanes of traffic. New research from Lund University in Sweden reveals how the atmosphere is an ecosystem, with complex ecological processes that affect how animals move between different altitude levels. We often consider the air as simply a void – but it is in fact alive an

A unique long-term study, in which samples were collected from the same population of blue tits over a 30-year period, shows that rising spring temperatures have doubled the incidence of avian malaria in southern Sweden. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have collected samples every year from hundreds of blue tits in a single population at a local breeding area outside Lund. This has prov

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. “The samples have proved to be an unexpected, unique and very exciting ar

How should scientists handle deep disagreements? A new paper by researcher Juan Gefaell and Professor Tobias Uller at Lund University introduces a more constructive way to deal with disputes in ecology and evolutionary biology – by turning opponents into collaborators. “Despite some apparent challenges, it is feasible to apply adversarial collaboration to ecology and evolutionary biology disputes.

When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese

Red-backed shrikes fly thousands of kilometres to reach Africa – and they do so with astonishing precision. Aided by new technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the birds’ journeys in detail. It turns out that they may have a more complex genetic migration programme than researchers have previously been able to show. “We can now follow a bird’s location through

Elsevierförhandlingarna Vad som hänt i vinter är att man har haft ett ”högnivåmöte” den 18 december där man försökt enas om gemensamma principer för fortsatta förhandlingar. Bibsam skriver följande i sin information efter mötet ”Dock står det klart att parterna fortfarande står väldigt långt ifrån varandra.”. Så någon snar öppning vad gäller tillgång till Elseviertidskrifterna är inte att vänta. h
