Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth – Tillväxtverket – allocates SEK 12 million from the European Regional Development Fund to Lund Nano Lab (Myfab Lund). Over the next four years, the money will strengthen cooperation between academia and industry in the field of semiconductors, and lower the threshold to the lab for companies. Anneli Löfgren, deputy director of NanoLund, will be

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t. It is an eminently human reality, filtered through our eyes. The visual world of animals shows different realities”, says Dan-Eric Nilsson. Almost 40 years have passed since Dan-Eric Nilsson arrived in Lund from Gothenburg as a doctoral studen

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge
