A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For a mathematician, the waves of the sea are related to differential equations, and particularly complex ones at that. Mathematical research can help to improve understanding of how waves form and move – which could be useful, for example, in the work to predict dangerous monster waves. The sunlight glistens on the r

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

Despite efforts to overcome public transport barriers, major challenges remain. The rapid transition to a more transport-efficient society also includes digitization and new forms of mobility. This creates a growing concern about widening exclusion and digital divides and new research is needed. The new research project aims to provide a deeper understanding of potential obstacles and conditions i

Många arter av humlor hotas av klimatuppvärmningen, men inte alla. Mörk jordhumla är världens vanligaste humla och så lär det förbli. Forskare från Lunds universitet har nämligen upptäckt att den gynnas av att klimatet blir allt varmare. Genom att undersöka jordhumlor som har samlats in av amatörer och forskare under 150 år har biologer och klimatforskare på Lunds universitet kommit fram till att
