Body shape, colour and behaviour often evolve together as species adapt to their environment. Researchers from Lund University have studied this phenomenon in a specific type of large, bright green and aggressive common wall lizard found near the Mediterranean. They discovered that a unique cell type might have played a key role in this joint evolution. Adaptation is a genetic change that results

Bumblebees have a great capacity to navigate despite their small brain size. This is borne out of new research conducted at Lund University in Sweden, among others. The research results can potentially benefit the development of navigation robots in crisis situations where GPS does not work, for example. According to the study, bumblebees appear capable of navigating as well as vertebrates can, an

Allowing nature to cover up after human activities, known as rewilding, has several benefits. It improves the resilience of ecosystems, increases biodiversity and favours the interaction between nature and society. This is according to a new study from Lund University. Rewilding is a method that aims to re-establish animal and plant species that have disappeared from a particular area. In a new st

The type of tree you plant – whether you choose native or non-native species – is of great significance for insect life in a city, more so than researchers previously thought. This is what emerges from a new study by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, who investigated the parks in the city of Malmö. Trees are crucial to insects, birds and even people in a city. They lower the temperature, p

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality, this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at Lund University School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin may suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins
