An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

Lund University moves forward with the development project at Campus Helsingborg. In the next step, the pre-design phase, architects will present a sketch of a new layout of the University's premises. The architects do their work in dialogue with the University's project group. The plan is to forward a sketch for consideration to relevant actors within the University in the autumn of 2025."The pre

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort två nya fynd som visar sig ha inverkan på betacellernas förmåga till insulinfrisättning. Fynden kan också ge en möjlig förklaring till varför rökare har ökad risk för typ 2-diabetes. Studien är gjord på möss och donerade betaceller från människor och har publicerats i den vet

Däggdjur använder näsor och nosar. Insekter antenner. Men hur spindlar känner lukter har länge varit höljt i dunkel. Nu har ett forskarlag upptäckt att hanspindlar använder hår på sina ben för att känna lukter och upptäcka sexferomoner från honspindlar. Även om spindlar – som har utvecklats under cirka 400 miljoner år – är kända för sitt vibrationssinne och sin skarpa syn har det funnits väldigt l

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

The different pathways for future energy systems may technologically look very much the same, but they differ fundamentally when it comes to ownership, distribution of profits and what local values are created. How this is played out in practice is discussed in this new article by Anna-Riikka Kojonsaari and Jenny Palm. New decentralized energy-generation technologies have turned economies of scale

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers hav
