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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Two full-time technicians help biology researchers to realise new ingenious ways of gathering data on how animals move. Thanks to computer chips, wireless communication and nanotechnology, the researchers can achieve groundbreaking results. Johan Bäckman and Arne Andersson sort out the technology for CAnMove projects.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. För ambulanspersonalen är det ännu en dag på jobbet. Men för den som ringer 112 och ber om hjälp inrymmer situationen stor sårbarhet, stress och oro. Då kan bemötandet från vårdpersonalen vara avgörande.

Inte bara människor kan drabbas av luftföroreningarnas negativa effekter. Nu visar forskning att även fåglar får mätbara förändringar i kroppen av nedsmutsande sotpartiklar som de andas in. De negativa hälsoeffekterna av luftföroreningar är väl studerade hos människor, men man vet fortfarande relativt lite om hur djur med annan fysiologi och olika andningssätt påverkas av förorenad luft.
