The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

During the spring, the Purchasing and Procurement Office will gradually take over responsibility for all procurements over SEK 700,000. The previous threshold (below which no support was available) was SEK 1.5 million. A new procedure is being introduced, which means that procurements worth over SEK 700,000 will be carried out with support from procurement officers in the Division of Finances. The

Swedish, previously uncut forests have been converted to plantations at a steady rate since 2003. In a new study, BECC-researcher Anders Ahlström and his research team find that old forests have been cut and lost by ∼1.4% per year since 2003, and at this rate they will disappear by the 2070s. Natural ecosystems that have experienced limited direct human impact are threatened by land use change. On
