Vad äter tumlare i svenska vatten? I en ny studie tar forskare från Lunds universitet hjälp av dna-teknik för att kartlägga den lilla valens mångfacetterade matvanor. Torskfiskar, sillfiskar och smörbultar toppar tumlarens meny, men den trubbnosiga tandvalen verkar inte särskilt kräsen. En ny studie visar att tumlare i svenska vatten äter uppemot 40 olika bytesarter – från centimeterstora bottenfi

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Barn till mammor som har diabetes löper större risk att födas med missbildningar. Strikt blodsockerkontroll under hela graviditeten minskar risken men nu visar holländska forskare överraskande att det enbart är pojkfoster som drabbas. Holländska forskare från universiteten i Amsterdam och Utrecht har gjort en ovänta

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many Swedes have large debts, and being in debt is often expected to lead to poor health. However, economist Therese Nilsson at the School of Economics and Management finds that we still do not know enough to determine whether it is the debt itself that leads to ill health – or if ill health leads to debt. Economist T

The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

Nuclear power is an advanced low carbon technology that can help to reduce the risk of dangerous climate change. Yet, many countries, including those with rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions and enormous electricity needs, have not managed to construct a single nuclear power plant. Why do some countries use nuclear power and others don't? A new paper co-authored by Aleh Cherp answers this ques

Skyddar kaffe mot diabetiska ögonskador? En studie av forskare i Sydkorea tyder på det. Förekomsten av vanliga ögonskador vid diabetes var lägre hos typ 2-diabetiker som drack två koppar kaffe eller mer per dag i jämförelse med deltagare som nästan aldrig drack kaffe. Det är långt ifrån första gången kaffekonsumtion i diabetessammanhang undersöks. Ett exempel är den artikel i tidskriften Nutrition

However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research.

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further.
