I tsunamins fotspår satsade Thailands regering och hjälporganisationer stora pengar på reformer som skulle gynna turismen. Vad man inte tänkte på var hur satsningarna skulle påverka de havsnomader som befann sig i området. Antropologen Lotta Granbom vid Lunds universitet har studerat naturkatastrofens konsekvenser för havsfolket Urak Lawoi som lever på Ko Lanta, en populär turistö bland svenskar.

Flyttfåglar kan få problem när klimatet förändras. Dagsljuset, inte högre temperatur, styr till stor del fåglarnas biologiska klockor som talar om när det är dags att flytta. Därmed riskerar de att komma fram när den bästa tiden att hitta insekter redan har varit. Klimatförändringar gör att våren kommer tidigare, och med våren kommer insekterna. Men flyttfåglarna har svårt att ändra den inre kalen

Kemiforskare vid Lunds universitet har lyckats skapa små partiklar som går att styra med hjälp av värme i en så kallad lås-och-nyckel-funktion. På sikt hoppas forskarna att partiklarnas självbyggande förmåga kan bidra till nya bioinspirerade material. Runtom i världen pågår forskning som försöker härma naturens förmåga att organisera sina minsta beståndsdelar. Det handlar om förmågan att få atomer

Risken för ytterligare spridning av signalkräfta och nya utbrott av kräftpest i svenska flodkräftvatten är fortsatt mycket hög. Det visar en ny rapport från Lunds universitet och Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU). Signalkräfta introducerades till Sverige på 1960-talet, för att ersätta förluster av den inhemska flodkräftan. Eftersom signalkräftan senare visade sig vara bärare av kräftpest, oftast

Hur ska de försvara sin samhällsroll och behålla sin attraktionskraft i en framtid med allt större konkurrens? Krävs mer akademi
