This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered the individual traits of fungi, and how their hyphae – that is, the fungal threads that grow in soil - behave very differently as they navigate through the earth’s microscopic labyrinths. The study was performed in a lab environment, and the underground system c

When humans are ill, we tend to be less active. This also applies to wild animals, but so far, it has not been known how long the reduced activity lasts or which activities are affected the most. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds' activity decreases for up to three weeks when they become ill - something that could mean the difference between life and death. The researche

Reptiles living in open habitats generally have brighter colouration than species living in denser vegetation. This is shown in a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The results suggest that changes in habitat and climate over millions of years have prompted animals to adapt their colouration in order to survive. It has been long established that environmental factors affect how animals’ col

The fact that June’s EU meeting held in Lund had the theme “The Potential of Research Data: How Research Infrastructures Provide New Opportunities and Benefits for Society,” clearly shows the enormous opportunity that research data could represent. Now it is time to make that potential a reality. The University’s research generates increasingly large volumes of data and the need to know where and

Is it time for a new nutritional supplement during pregnancy to prevent type 1 diabetes in the unborn child? Two new scientific studies, one from Lund University in Sweden, and another from Finland, suggest so. The research groups have analysed blood samples from umbilical cords and compared the level of a group of fats known as phospholipids. The results of the studies show that low levels of pho

Many of us know that Finland is steadily ranked as the happiest country in the world. The basis for this is the annual World Happiness Report, which is based on a simple question about happiness asked to people around the world. However, a new study led by Lund University in Sweden suggests that it makes people think more about power and wealth. Using the same question to measure happiness over ti
