When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese

I mitten av december förra året startades en namnlista på nätet i protest mot nedläggningen av LUM, på initiativ av ett tjugotal medarbetare vid universitetet. I skrivande stund har närmare 900 personer skrivit under. Bland argumenten lyfts framför allt tidningens förmåga att skapa överblick och samhörighet i en stor och spretig organisation. Nedan har vi samlat ett litet axplock av de kommentarer

There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May,
