BECC researchers are co-authors of a paper in Nature Climate Change: Optimal stomatal behavior around the world. Plants trade water for carbon. Every litre of water they extract from the soil allows them to take up a few more grams of carbon from the atmosphere in order to grow. A new global study published 2 March in Nature Climate Change shows that plants use their water wisely. They are adapted

Sociologists of law find that Swedish law enforcement struggles to investigate the exploitation of migrant workers. Only two percent of reported cases end up in court. Central to the justice deficit are two interacting logics: the criminal law logic and the labour migration regime. Of the 237 cases of human trafficking for forced labour and human exploitation reported to Swedish police from 2012 t

Shovels, brushes and dusty excavations sites? For many people this is what comes to mind when they think of archeology. But the field has developed at an unprecedented pace during the last few decades, and now includes tools and methods such as 3D modelling, spatial analysis and even laser cameras mounted on drones. Nicolo Dell'Unto, researcher at Lund University, is part of a growing number of ar

By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes while the other remains healthy. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2 diabetes and the other was healthy. “Twins are a

Variations and changes in the genetic code in our cells are of great significance for many of the most widespread diseases. In recent years, researchers have made important progress in finding new ways to correct the genes that are causing problems. They have developed a technique that enables changes to the genetic sequence in living cells.  “It is possible to cut out the bad genes and paste in n

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic alterations associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developing type
