In a bluetit population situated outside Lund the prevalence of blood parasites has increased in the population from around 45% in 1996 to over …
Pesticides play a crucial role in our environment and are essential for sustaining food production. However, our understanding of the impact pesticides can have …
In the last few decades, the populations of several wild bird species decreased dramatically worldwide. This is due to many factors associated with urbanization, …
This is an opportunity to work with pollinators in an urban setting and be part of a European project where we will investigate the …
What do traits tell us about species responses to environmental change and the resulting impacts for ecosystem function and services? Which forest management practises …
Green Infrastructure (GI) is widely adopted by policymakers and practitioners as a form of Nature-based solution (NbS) to help restore nature and boost biodiversity, …
More than 80% of all animal life are insects and most of this diversity stems from a single monophyletic innovation ca. 320 million years …
It is becoming abundantly clear that wild and domesticated bees are surprisingly sensitive to global warming, heatwaves, and droughts – all hallmarks of climate …
Unlike mammals, birds have nucleated red blood cells that retain almost all functional organelles in the mature state. Amongst these are the mitochondria – …
Mammals have a form of internal heat production localised to their mitochondria, which they ramp up in the cold. This heat production is localised …
