A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o

När fiskar från olika miljöer möts är det inte alltid romantik i vattnet. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar att aggressiva honor aktivt kan stoppa hanar från ”fel” miljö – ett beteende som i förlängningen kan bidra till att nya arter uppstår. Att förstå hur arter bildas är en av biologins mest grundläggande frågor. I en ny studie har forskare undersökt olika populationer av den säregna mos
