Allt fler vill hjälpa bin och andra pollinerare och väljer därför att odla blommor rika på nektar och pollen. Men vilka blommor gör allra störst nytta? Enligt pollineringsforskare beror det på syftet. Vill man gynna hotade biarter och den biologiska mångfalden bör man välja en mångfald av växter av inhemskt ursprung. Är man lantbrukare med stora arealer insektspollinerade jordbruksgrödor kan det v

As a young journalist, Tomas Sniegon had fantastic material – more than one hundred hours of interviews with the former KGB chairman Vladimir Semichastny. It was intended for a memoir, but time moved on and the market was suddenly saturated with Soviet confessions. Twenty years later, the winds have changed. There is

Livet i staden är hårt – om du är fågelunge påverkas du tydligt av en viss typ av luftförorening, samt av vilka träd som finns i närheten av boet, visar ny forskning från Lund. Bakom studien ligger ett nytt mer detaljerat sätt att undersöka vilka faktorer i urban miljö som ger en effekt på fåglar och djur. Städer är generellt en tuff miljö för fåglar och andra djur att leva i, men varför det är så

En studie ledd från Lunds universitet visar att midjemått är en starkare riskfaktor än BMI för utveckling av fetmarelaterad cancer hos män. Studien, som bygger på data från över 339 000 personer, tyder på att midjemått kan ge viktig information vid bedömning av cancerrisk. Det är välkänt att obesitas ökar risken för flera cancerformer, men hur risken mäts och bedöms kan ha stor betydelse. Nyligen

A new international commission will pave the way for a global boost in maternal and newborn health. The project is led by a researcher at Lund University in Sweden, whose motivation stems from a formative experience witnessing a woman bleed to death unnecessarily during childbirth. “The time has come to put maternal and newborn health back at the heart of the global health agenda,” says Mehreen Za

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using
