Climate change is a reality for communities globally, forcing governments and international agencies to propose climate adaptation measures. For many people, these top-down approaches don't always align with their needs, values or legal rights. Ana Maria Vargas is one of the researchers in the project "Everyday forms of resistance to state adaptation regulation: An ethnographic study of responses

Ett bilbränsle bestående av en vätska som en fast katalysator omvandlar till vätgas är något forskare vid Lunds universitet undersöker. Den använda vätskan töms sedan ur tanken, laddas med väte och kan därefter användas på nytt i ett cirkulärt system, som är fritt från växthusgasutsläpp. I två vetenskapliga artiklar har Lundaforskarna visat att metoden fungerar, och även om det fortfarande är grun

Med hjälp av global satellitdata har ett forskarlag kartlagt trädtäcket i världens skyddade naturområden. Studien visar att områden med många stora växtätande djur har ett betydligt mer varierat utbud av träd. Att upprätthålla artrika och motståndskraftiga ekosystem är avgörande för att bevara den biologiska mångfalden och mildra klimatförändringarna. Här spelar megafaunan – de allra största djure

Strutshonornas förmåga att hålla huvudet kallt gör att de kan producera fler ägg under perioder med varmare temperaturer. Detta visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Strutsen är världens största fågelart och lever ett utsatt liv några av världens mest extrema miljöer med höga temperaturer. I ett halvöken område i Västra Kapprovinsen i Sydafrika studerade ett internationellt forskarlag strutse

I över 20 år har ett forskarlag i Lund studerat den i Sverige vanligt förekommande större kustflicksländan. Honorna har tre ärftliga färgformer – varav en ger dem ett utseende som påminner om hannar, vilket skyddar dem från parningstrakasserier. I en ny studie kan forskarna slå fast att denna färgvariation uppstod genom genetiska förändringar för åtminstone fem miljoner år sedan i en specifik regi
