Great tits in urban environments have lower levels of stress hormone than those living in woodland habitats. This according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Certain animals are able to adjust well to environments that have been created or altered by human activity. We live in an age in which urbanisation is proceeding at an ever-faster rate, something that also affects fauna. The gre

We can both exercise and shop without taking a step outdoors and the indoor trend is on the increase, despite the fact that we have little understanding of the air we are breathing. “The health effects may not be detected for a number of years”, says LTH researcher Aneta Wierz

Insulinbehandlade diabetiker blir avrådda från att fasta, men många gör det i alla fall. Vad får det för konsekvenser? För två år sedan undersökte en forskargrupp från Mellanöstern, Nordafrika och l
