Det finns en anledning till att våren luktar jord när fälten plöjs och trädgårdsrabatter grävs. Forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet och SLU har undersökt jordlukten och kan visa att doften är länken i ett intrikat samspel mellan en millimeterstor insektsliknande organism som funnits på jorden i 400 miljoner år och jordbakterier som är superproducenter av antibiotika. Doften av jord kommer

Strutsen har genetiska förutsättningar att anpassa sig till stigande eller sjunkande temperaturer. Men när temperaturen fluktuerar oftare, som den gör i klimatförändringarnas spår, får den flygoförmögna bjässefågeln med 40-gramshjärna det betydligt svårare. Förra året kunde ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet konstatera att strutsen är mycket känslig för växlande temperaturer i samband med äggläg

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati
