Grodor och paddor har ett mörkerseende som tycks vara överlägset alla andra djur. De har förmåga att se i färg även när det är så mörkt att människan inte klarar av att se något alls. Det visar en ny studie gjord av forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet. De flesta ryggradsdjur inklusive människan har två typer av synceller i ögats näthinna, nämligen tappar och stavar. Tapparna gör det möjlig

Hur är det egentligen möjligt att könsbaserade löneskillnader lever kvar än idag, trots att de är ett brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna? Lena Svenaeus, tidigare JämO, menar att lagstiftningen i själva verket fungerat som en fasad som ger sken av att respektera likalöneprincipen medan den i verkligheten har upprätthållit och förstärkt den gamla ordningen. I dagarna lägger hon fram en avhandling

För första gången ska forskare undersöka om det bara är fördelar för fåglar att bli matade av människor. Bland annat ska forskarna från Lunds universitet studera om fåglarna tjänar mer på att bosätta sig i Luleå än i Malmö. Tesen är att fördelarna blir fler ju kallare klimatet är. Projektet ska under fem år undersöka småfåglars hälsa, överlevnad och häckningsframgång. Siktet är främst inställt på

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators. Our team has used a type of AI
