Fågelungar väger också mindre desto fler icke-inhemska träd som finns i närområdet. Det visar en ny långtidsstudie från Lund. Naturen i staden bidrar till flera viktiga ekosystemtjänster.

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet har äntligen löst mysteriet om hur spindlar känner dofter. Spindelhanar använder nämligen specialiserade lukthår, så kallade sensiller, på benen för att upptäcka sexferomonerna som honorna utsöndrar. Det finns mycket forskning kring kommunikation via sexferomoner hos insekter. Spindlar är den viktigaste gruppen av insekters naturliga fiender, men inte mycket är
