Today, more than half of the world’s population live in cities, and by mid-century it is predicted that more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. This sees cities at the forefront of sustainability, needing to meet social needs within our ecological boundaries. An overarching guiding roadmap to consider sustainability is the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Go

The Russian invasion of Ukraine raised concerns about Europe’s dependence on Russian natural gas. In a recent interview to Extrakt magazine Professor Aleh Cherp argues that this will increase the interest of European countries to construct new or prolong the operation of existing nuclear power plants. Aleh Cherp notes that such plans exist in the UK, the Netherlands, Poland and France. He also poi

There is a clear and urgent need to accelerate the implementation of sustainability solutions. We must move beyond simple conceptual understanding of solutions, instead experimenting with collaborators in contexts in order to improve effectiveness, share learnings with others, and avoid future mistakes that waste time. In this episode, we discuss nature-based solutions as a holistic approach addre

Hanarna bär huvudansvaret för ungarna när skräntärnorna flyttar från Östersjön till tropiska Afrika. Det kan ett internationellt forskarlag konstatera efter en ny studie där ett antal fågelfamiljer försetts med GPS.

I en ny studie har ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet kartlagt sångfåglars immunförsvar och funnit att de aktiva generna är organiserade på två mycket specifika sätt. Den nya kunskapen ger viktiga nycklar till hur vilda fåglars immunförsvar utvecklats under miljontals år. Sjukdomsalstrande patogener, bakterier och virus spelar en viktig roll för hur immunförsvar utvecklas hos både människor och

Antalet insekter i Europa har minskat dramatiskt under de senaste decennierna. Men inte i fjällbjörkskogen i västerbottniska Ammarnäs. Här har forskare under 53 år kartlagt populationerna och kan i en ny studie konstatera att antalet insekter och spindlar är i princip detsamma som när studien inleddes på 60-talet. Ammarnäs är en liten fjällnära ort i Sorsele kommun, naturskönt belägen på näset mel

Det är sedan tidigare klarlagt att beröring kan utlösa stressreaktioner hos växter. Men de molekylära förklaringsmodellerna har hittills varit spartanska. Men nu har forskare hittat nya genetiska nycklar till varför växter reagerar så kraftfullt på mekanisk stimulering. När du vattnar dina trädgårdsväxter reagerar de direkt på en biokemisk nivå. Och när du låter din knivsegg kapa en rabarberstång

Strutsen har genetiska förutsättningar att anpassa sig till stigande eller sjunkande temperaturer. Men när temperaturen fluktuerar oftare, som den gör i klimatförändringarnas spår, får den flygoförmögna bjässefågeln med 40-gramshjärna det betydligt svårare. Förra året kunde ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet konstatera att strutsen är mycket känslig för växlande temperaturer i samband med äggläg

Allt fler vill hjälpa bin och andra pollinerare och väljer därför att odla blommor rika på nektar och pollen. Men vilka blommor gör allra störst nytta? Enligt pollineringsforskare beror det på syftet. Vill man gynna hotade biarter och den biologiska mångfalden bör man välja en mångfald av växter av inhemskt ursprung. Är man lantbrukare med stora arealer insektspollinerade jordbruksgrödor kan det v
