Molecular recognition is the key aspect of any cellular and biological function. Two or more molecules interacting with each other cause the effects that drives various basic functions that are fundamental to cells. Be these protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid or protein-ligand interactions, they all play important roles in a cell. Protein-ligand interactions are the most studied as they can hav

Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, transforming landscapes, presenting organisms with novel challenges, shaping phenotypes and impacting fitness. Urban individuals are claimed to have duller carotenoid-based colouration, compared to their non-urban counterparts, the so-called ‘urban dullness’ phenomenon. However, at the intraspecific level, this generalisation is surprisingly inconsist

Ecological impacts of urbanization include the loss of biodiversity and changes in species composition and population densities. However, how the urban environment affects fundamental physiological parameters is largely unknown. Here, we investigated physiological components related to health and nutrition, namely, plasma fatty acids (FA) and lipid peroxidation at inter-habitat and interspecific lEcological impacts of urbanization include the loss of biodiversity and changes in species composition and population densities.

This is the first annual report for the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a new national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The programme was initiated in 2010, and is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sci

The causal role of pollinators in driving the divergence of plant traits is a fundamental tenet of angiosperm evolution, providing hallmark examples of evolution in response to natural selection. However, it remains unclear how geographic variation in pollinator assemblages relates to the divergence of pollination traits in pollination-generalized plants. We characterized pollinator assemblages th

The purpose of this study is to explore how young, eco-conscious Swedish women navigate the tension between sustainability and beauty ideals regarding their consumption of cosmetic products. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with young, educated women, alongside two middle-aged women working with sustainability and organic products. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes, categories

Context Agricultural transformation and increased land use intensity often lead to simplified landscapes and biodiversity loss. For animals, one possible mechanism underpinning biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes is the disruption of movements. The disruption of movements may explain, for example, why butterfly communities in agricultural landscapes are often dominated by generalist speci

The influence of soil physicochemical properties on microbial communities can be large, especially in developing soils of glacier forefield chronosequences. However, small-scale expositional differences in bare soils and their impacts on soil microbial communities have so far been largely neglected. Here we studied the changes of microbial communities in three deglaciated unvegetated sites along a
