Atlantic walrus more vulnerable than ever to Arctic warming
Past cycles of climate change, along with human exploitation, have led to only small and isolated stocks of Atlantic walrus remaining. The current population is at high risk of the same issues affecting them severely, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. Today, the last remaining stocks of Atlantic walrus are more at danger than ever, due to a combination of Arctic warming an

EU infertility project focuses on men
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Infertility is now a condition as common as diabetes. On the one hand, women are waiting until they are older to have children, which makes it more difficult to get pregnant, but some studies also indicate a drastic decline in sperm counts in men over the past 50 years. Repro Union 2.0 is a Danish-Swedish initiative t

Who are the environmental human rights defenders? New research project at LUCSUS
In mid-January, protesters and police clashed in the village of Lützerath in Germany after the village was occupied for a long time in an attempt to prevent the extension of a large open-pit coal mine that will swallow the village. The occupation is just one example of the increasingly widespread struggle to defend the environment and prevent greenhouse gas emissions, according to LUCSUS researche

Climate litigation cases explained: what is their purpose, and what is their impact within and outside the courts?
2023 is set to be a watershed year for climate litigation cases globally. Also in Sweden, where the youth organisation Aurora is suing the Swedish state for insufficient climate action. LUCSUS postdoctoral researcher Salvatore Paolo De Rosa explains the aims and arguments of the current wave of climate litigation cases, and reflects on their impacts both within and outside the courts. Why are we s
Vacuum cleaner-effect in fungi can hold nanoplastics at bay
Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to "clean up" their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

Plant-eating insects disrupt ecosystems and contribute to climate change
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu

Extinct brittle stars named after death metal bands
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered thirteen new species of extinct brittle stars on the island of Gotland, Sweden. The fossils were dug out of rocks from the Silurian Period (around 444 to 419 million years ago). The species have now been named after several famous hard rock musicians and bands. Ophiuroids are a group of echinoderms closely related to starfish. Their bodies c
