They cross oceans, glide on monsoon winds, and can appear in new places after thousands of kilometres in the air. Now a new study from Lund University shows that dragonflies are among nature’s most extreme migrants - and that their journeys may help us understand climate change. Dragonflies and damselflies are predatory insects with powerful jaws, compound eyes and spectacular colours. What is les

In many parts of the world, grass and forest fires pose a threat to animals and humans. According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, while climate change is likely to cause more and larger fires, in the future, more and more people will become directly affected as a result of demographic changes. Wolfgang Knorr at Lund University, together with colleagues from Germany and China, has st

De nya utgrävningarna i Uppåkra går i bräschen för tekniker inom arkeologin. Nu används inte bara glasskärvor och benknotor - idag är det jorden som är i fokus. Och kanske får vi svaret på om den justinianska pesten, alltså föregångaren till digerdöden, fanns i Uppåkra. Något som hittills varit okänt.

I mitten på januari drabbade demonstranter och poliser ihop i byn Lützerath i Tyskland efter man under en lång tid ockuperat byn i försök att förhindra bygget av en ny kolgruva. Ockupationen är bara ett exempel på den alltmer utbredda kampen för att försvara naturen, enligt Lundaforskaren Torsten Krause som studerar olika sorters miljöaktivism runt om i världen i ett nytt forskningsprojekt. – Viss

Arbetskraftsbristen fortsätter att öka i hela Sverige samtidigt som bristen på arbetskraft inte nämnvärt leder till högre löner. Det visar en ny rapport från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet. Enligt forskarna bakom rapporten drivs arbetskraftsbristen av en demografisk obalans, pandemirelaterade avhopp samt utmaningen med att matcha utrikesföddas kompetens med tillgängliga jobb. Många länder

El Niño, a climate troublemaker, has long been one of the largest drivers of variability in the global climate. Every few years, the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean seesaws between warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) phases. This reshuffles rainfall patterns, unleashing floods, droughts and storms thousands of miles from the Pacific origin. The 1997-98 and 2015-16 El Niño events, for instance, brough
