Däggdjur använder näsor och nosar. Insekter antenner. Men hur spindlar känner lukter har länge varit höljt i dunkel. Nu har ett forskarlag upptäckt att hanspindlar använder hår på sina ben för att känna lukter och upptäcka sexferomoner från honspindlar. Även om spindlar – som har utvecklats under cirka 400 miljoner år – är kända för sitt vibrationssinne och sin skarpa syn har det funnits väldigt l

How can Sweden better protect public health during the next pandemic? A new study from Lund University shows that during the Covid-19 pandemic, new arrivals to Sweden were excluded from information, despite good intentions on the part of the authorities. This may have influenced their willingness to get vaccinated. “Information was provided, but was insufficient in terms of regularity and accessib

Inte bara människor kan drabbas av luftföroreningarnas negativa effekter. Nu visar forskning att även fåglar får mätbara förändringar i kroppen av nedsmutsande sotpartiklar som de andas in. De negativa hälsoeffekterna av luftföroreningar är väl studerade hos människor, men man vet fortfarande relativt lite om hur djur med annan fysiologi och olika andningssätt påverkas av förorenad luft.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him?
