En ny anläggning för djurförsöksverksamhet planeras att byggas på Brunnshög i nordöstra Lund. Det är ett strategiskt beslut av Medicinska fakulteten – dels för att det nuvarande djurhuset inte längre är optimalt för avel och dels för att kunna erbjuda internationella forskare en säkrare forskningsmiljö. LUM har träffat tre av LU:s experter i försöksdjursfrågor. Djurhuset vid Medicinska fakulteten

För fem år sedan anlände elscootrar – också kallade elsparkcyklar – till svenska storstäder nästan över en natt. I dag är de lika välbekanta i stadsmiljön som omdebatterade. I sin doktorsavhandling har företagsekonomen Phil Justice Flores undersökt varför människor väljer att korttidshyra delade transporttjänster som elscootrar och elcyklar. Hans forskning visar att de flesta ställer sig på en els

Changes in land use have been highlighted as one of the main reasons for the global decline of insects. New research from Lund University, which examined three common Swedish grassland butterflies, shows that changes in land use not only reduce insect numbers. The loss of habitat can also lead to increased inbreeding, especially among specialised species that find it increasingly difficult to move

The ecological consequences of animal agriculture present an acute challenge for how we legislate to protect cows, pigs, and other farmed animals. Research at the Sociology of Law Department suggests abandoning human-centred perspectives, thus calling for a new paradigm that recognizes the ethical significance of all animals as world-making beings. It has been estimated that about 72 billion land

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa
