Changes in land use have been highlighted as one of the main reasons for the global decline of insects. New research from Lund University, which examined three common Swedish grassland butterflies, shows that changes in land use not only reduce insect numbers. The loss of habitat can also lead to increased inbreeding, especially among specialised species that find it increasingly difficult to move

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has found that more than four percent of all hospital admissions in southern Sweden are associated with sepsis. It is a significantly underdiagnosed condition that can be likened to an epidemic. Now the European Sepsis Alliance has assigned the researchers with mapping the prevalence of sepsis in the rest of Europe. In 2016, the research team conducted

Why do some people develop type 1 diabetes and others do not? Worldwide, researchers are now collaborating to find the answer to this complex question. Diabetes researchers at Lund University recently contributed data to a new study that shows that type 1 diabetes develops in three different ways in children. This improved understanding makes it possible for scientists to conduct new types of stud

Genom dna-analyser av gamla luftprover kan forskare i Lund visa att de nordliga mossornas sporspridning har flyttats fram flera veckor under de senaste 35 åren. Resultaten speglar hur snabbt naturens kalender ställs om i takt med ett varmare klimat. – Proverna har visat sig utgöra ett oväntat, helt unikt och mycket spännande arkiv över dna från biologiska luftspridda partiklar, säger Nils Cronberg
