A pioneering permafrost study has just been released in the online journal Nature Communications, showing that in all permafrost regions, soil temperatures rose by an average of 0,3 degrees Celsius between 2007 and 2016. Margareta Johansson, researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University, is one of the co-authors of this study. The new study shows that

A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants. However, the molecular models for explaining this process have been quite spartan so far. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found genetic keys that explain how plants respond so strongly to mechanical stimuli. Cracking this code could help lead to hig

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that the appetite hormone CART is regulated by glucose and is found in greater quantity in people with type 2 diabetes. “This could be the body’s own defence mechanism to lower blood sugar levels in case of type 2 diabetes”, says Associate Professor Nils Wierup, in charge of the study. The study shows that the appetite hormone CART not only

Soon it will be possible to take a ‘ministerial’ degree in Lund. Next autumn, the departments of Philosophy, Political Science and Economics will be starting a Bachelor’s degree in Practical Philosophy, Politics and Economics – PPE. The role model for the programme is a degree given at Oxford University, and it is reputed that several British ministers hold a PPE degree from that institution Polit

"On June 14, the U.S.-led international coalition targeted the car of Abu al-Qassam al-Urdini, a senior leader of al-Qaeda (AQ) affiliate Hurras al-Din (HAD), and his fellow jihadi Bilal al-San’ani on the outskirts of Idlib. Two days later, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Idlib’s dominant jihadi group, arrested a former senior commander, Abu Salah al-Uzbeki, who had defected from HTS to join Ansar al-

The magnetic compass that birds use for orientation is affected by polarised light. This previously unknown phenomenon was discovered by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The discovery that the magnetic compass is affected by the polarisation direction of light was made when trained zebra finches were trying to find food inside a maze. The birds were only able to use their magnetic compass

CMES researchers Pinar Dinc and Lina Eklund have co-authored the article "Syrian farmers in the midst of drought and conflict: the causes, patterns, and aftermath of land abandonment and migration", published in the journal Climate and Development. Abstract The prevailing narrative on the Syrian Civil War attributes it to climate-induced migration resulting from a severe drought, which serves as a

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

Researchers have discovered nematodes, or worms, in the brains of lizard embryos. This is the first time they have been found in reptile eggs, and it was previously believed that egg laying prevents parasites from being transmitted in this way. The discovery was made by an international research team led by Nathalie Feiner, evolutionary biologist at Lund University in Sweden. They found the worms

A new method in heart transplantation makes it possible to preserve the heart from a donor for a significantly longer time period than was previously possible. A first human operation was conducted at Skåne University Hospital in Sweden last week. With the new storage method, a mini heart-lung machine supplies the donor heart with vital substances in an oxygenated solution during the transportatio
