The world's oldest complete wooden hunting weapons are 200,000 years old, not 300,000 as previously believed. This is shown by a new dating study that Zoran Perić from the Department of Geology participated in, which has now been published in Science Advances and highlighted in international media. The discovery indicates that the spears originate from Neanderthals, deepening our understanding of
After climate change, biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world today. The loss of plant and animal species also means a loss of the resources that humans obtain from well-functioning ecosystems. At Lund University, a project is underway in which researchers are studying how work to counteract these losses is carried out with so-called green infrastructure. In today

Sweden does not need more cattle to save natural grazing land with high biodiversity. This is the conclusion of a new report by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. What is needed instead, according to the researchers, are economic incentives that make natural grazing profitable. Natural grazing land is a central part of the Swedish cultural landscape and important for biodiversity. Grazing a

In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a new study shows that greenery in Sweden begins to appear between one to two weeks e

We appreciate your participation in the online conference, which was a very successful joining of about 100 participants. April 23 and 24 were two very rewarding days, filled with interesting sessions, poster presentations, office yoga, group discussions, as well as fruitful conversations and sharing of expertise. The event allowed for interesting discussions among researchers and stakeholders acr
A study from Lund University indicates that the flora of Skåne in southern Sweden changed drastically throughout the 1900s and up to the present day. The greatest decline in species diversity can be seen in forested areas in the northern and central parts of Skåne. “I was surprised that climate change has had the biggest impact”, says researcher Torbjörn Tyler of Lund University. The researchers’

A unique study has analyzed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of payments are going to the regions causing the

Population density, and not the proportion of green spaces, has the biggest impact on species richness of pollinators in residential areas. This is the result of a study from Lund University in Sweden of gardens and residential courtyards in and around Malmö, Sweden. The result surprised the researchers, who had expected that the vegetation cover would be more significant.“We have found that, in c

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now reveal what the Danish King Hans had planned to offer when laying claim to the Swedish throne in 1495: a two-metre-long Atlantic sturgeon. The well-preserved fish remains were found in a wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea last year, and species identification was made possible through DNA analysis. At midsummer in 1495, the Danish King Hans was e

Researchers at the Pufendorf Institute are working together in a Theme about Invasive Alien Plants, and are interested in finding out how the public, as well as experts, regard different plants in private gardens as well as in public spaces. Why are certain plants defined as more desirable than others, by whom, and how? Researchers now want to get help from the public to get a better understanding
