Genom att studera grönalger i svenska sjöar har ett forskarlag, lett från Lunds universitet, lyckats identifiera vilka miljöförhållanden som främjar flercellighet. Resultaten ger oss nya ledtrådar till evolutionens svindlande vägar. Utvecklingen av flercelligt liv har spelat en avgörande roll för den biologiska mångfalden. Vi har dock hittills vetat förvånansvärt lite om de naturliga miljöförhålla

Förändringar i syresättning och klimat hade fundamental betydelse för marina miljöer och ekosystem under en av de mest omvälvande tiderna i livets utveckling. Det visar en ny studie där forskare analyserat jod och kalcium i kalkstensprover från Sverige, Estland och Ryssland. Det har länge spekulerats kring storskaliga samband mellan biodiversitet och syretillgång under livets tidiga utvecklingshis

We have a new name for the Astronomy Building – Universum! To me, it expresses that this will be a place where everyone in the faculty can gather, where disciplines meet, and where we feel at home, while also honouring what has always been here: astronomy.I am deeply relieved and glad we reached consensus on the name, especially as it emerged several times among the suggestions in our naming compe

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success
