Hur trovärdiga är forskningsresultat egentligen? En ny biologistudie visar att samma data kan ge olika svar beroende på analysmetod – vilket väcker frågor om vetenskapliga slutsatsers stabilitet. För att stärka trovärdigheten behöver forskare bli bättre på att redovisa metoderna. Ända sedan 1600-talet, när den moderna naturvetenskapliga forskningen såg dagens ljus, har metoderna förfinats och förb

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
