The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling. We would like to have an electric car, solar cells on our roof or the latest mod

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

Why do people slack off at work? Last year it was revealed that 20 workers at a big Swedish mining company had been slacking off at work by taking turns clocking each other in and out. The scheme had been going on for several years - supposedly costing the company millions of dollars. How is such major slacking possible? In his new book “Empty Labor: Idleness and Workplace Resistance” (Cambridge U

ATLAS is approaching, and this year’s edition brings several changes. The fair is moving to the Annexet where exhibitors will be spread across two floors. At the same time, new ideas and concepts are being introduced – including seminars before and after ATLAS – with the aim of preparing students more effectively for working life. We spoke to LUNA’s Head of Corporate Relations, Paulina Szofer, abo

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

Three researchers within the Social Science Faculty at Lund University have compiled an anthology challenging the notion of the refugee crisis of 2015. The book also investigates how Germany, Sweden, and Denmark use bureaucracy to control, discipline, and shape asylum seekers’ lives. In 2015, the number of asylum seekers arriving in the EU doubled from the previous year, totalling over 1.3 million

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly.

Extreme differences in flight altitude between day and night may have been an undetected pattern amongst migratory birds – until now. The observation was made by researchers at Lund University in Sweden in a study of great snipes, where they also measured a new altitude record for migratory birds, irrespective of the species, reaching 8 700 metres. Great snipes are shorebirds that breed in Sweden,

In 2010, GAP introduced a new logo, sparking an online backlash and ultimately resulting in the reintroduction of the old logo.

Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i
