Honor och hanar av fiskarten ruda reagerar olika på rovdjursframkallad stress, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Hanarna förändrar sitt utseende genom att växa på höjden för att undkomma glupska rovfiskar. Denna egenskap saknas helt hos honorna som därför oftare slukas av större fiskar. Vissa djur har utvecklat förmågan att ändra utseende för att försvara sig mot rovdjur om det behövs. S
Med hjälp av en superdatorsimulering har ett forskarlag lyckats följa en galax utveckling under 13,8 miljarder år. Studien visar hur unga och kaotiska galaxer, tack vare interstellära frontalkrockar, med tiden mognar till stabila spiralgalaxer, som exempelvis Vintergatan. Efter big bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan var världsrymden ett veritabelt vilda västern. Galaxer kolliderade. Stjärnor bildade

Samarbetena mellan offentlig sektor och akademin blir allt vanligare, och lyfts ofta upp som vägen framåt vad gäller klimatarbete. Men hur ska forskare och kommuner arbeta tillsammans för att nå resultat?

I en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet intervjuar genusvetaren Marco Bacio manliga sexarbetare i Sverige och Italien. Det som förvånade honom mest var att en majoritet av sexarbetarna tillhörde en välutbildad medelklass. Kvinnligt sexarbete – som är långt vanligare än manligt – är väl beforskat runt om i världen. Män som säljer sex däremot har enligt Marco Bacio inte uppmärksammats i samma grad

Preschool and primary school children will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how people can protect nature. The Natural Nations co-operation project is introducing biodiversity into the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and nature was part of general education, and knowledge was also transmitted between generations. Today, the

At the start of 2018 – as a reaction to the MeToo movement – the University decided to implement the Tellus project in order to strengthen the prevention of sexual harassment. Professor Anette Agardh was selected as the project leader. Almost five years have passed and what has happened since then? The first report of the Tellus project stated, among other things, that we needed to gather and incr

Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere - something that until now has eluded scientists’ direct measurement. Researchers

Physical violence is rarely something people think about or act out. Even violence specialists - people with a propensity for violence and a capacity to cause devastating damage - are belligerent only a fraction of their time awake.

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true.

Type 2 diabetes is often not caused by a lack of insulin per se, but an inability of the beta cells to secrete adequate amounts of it. Recently, scientists at LUDC have identified a previously unknown agent that plays an important role in the release of insulin. Knock-out mice that lack the ClC3 protein have a severely diminished capacity to secrete insulin in spite of intact beta cells. This find
