Bly. PCB. Bekämpningsmedel och bromerade flamskyddsmedel. Samt plasttillsatser och tungmetaller. Det var vad forskare i Lund hittade när de samlade in döda igelkottar för att undersöka vilka miljöföroreningar som finns i urbana miljöer. Urbana gröna områden är attraktiva för många vilda arter, men innehåller också en rad ohållbara syntetiska material och kemikalier. Igelkottar vandrar långa sträck

De senaste 40 åren har majoriteten av jordens sjöar ändrat färg. Det visar en ny studie där 32 miljoner satellitobservationer från drygt 67 000 vattendrag analyserats. Orsaken är omfattande förändringar i insjöarnas ekosystem. Sjöar är kritiska komponenter för jordens ekosystem. De fungerar som livsmiljöer för vatten- och landlevande arter, stödjer den biologiska mångfalden och upprätthåller den e

Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hittats i en grusgrop strax utanför den lilla byn Kitkiöjärvi i Pajala kommun. Analyser av mineralkorn i stenarna visar att de härstammar från ett hittills okänt meteoritnedslag för 659 miljoner år sedan. Nu återstår jakten på nedslagskratern som lurar någonstans i närheten av grustaget. Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hitta

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators. Our team has used a type of AI

Wild bees that ingest the neonicotinoid clothianidin when they feed from nectar of rapeseed flowers grown from clothianidin-coated seeds, become lethargic. In addition, strawberries pollinated by these bees become smaller. These are the results of a study conducted by three BECC researchers at Lund University. Wild and managed bees are important providers of pollination services and benefit the pr

Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding carbon as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. But now, BECC researcher Louise C Andresen among others, are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won’t be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei
