For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa

One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower yields than conventional farming. Studies led by Lund University now show that the yield difference between organic and conventional farming is smaller than previously thought, but the yields are still significantly smaller than fo

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

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t
