Only males among the fish species crucian carp have developed a strategy to protect themselves from hungry predators, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The explanation could lie in that the surrounding environment affects the stress system in males and females differently. Some animals have evolved the ability to swiftly change appearance to defend themselves against predato

During the foetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the foetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund University demonstrate that one of these foetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia. The interesting thing

Subsidies to fossil fuels – oil, coal and gas – are notoriously difficult to reform with global subsidy levels reaching a record $1.5 trillion in 2022. In a new article, Evan Drake and Jakob Skovgaard study how two political institutions, corporatism and electoral systems with proportional representation, impact the levels of fossil fuel subsidies. Comparing fossil fuel production subsidies in Can

In the warming Arctic, changes in vegetation are altering how methane moves between land and atmosphere. At a long-term research site near Abisko in northern Sweden, Mats Björkman, researcher and BECC coordinator at University of Gothenburg, and colleagues have studied these processes for over 30 years. Their findings suggest that drier soils can increase methane uptake, and in some areas even shi

Varje våldsam upptrappning av Israel-Palestina-konflikten har lett till ökad antisemitism i många länder. Så är också fallet i samband med det nu pågående kriget mellan Israel och Hamas. Det menar Svante Lundgren, religionshistoriker med fokus på Mellanöstern. – Det här är inget nytt utan har pågått i decennier. Varje gång det hettar till blir det aktivitet också här. Nu är stridigheterna dock mer
