Fåglar flyger mer effektivt genom att fälla in vingarna under uppslaget, visar en färsk studie från Lunds universitet och schweiziska EPFL. Resultaten kan innebära att vingfällning är nästa steg för att öka förmågan till framåtdrivande kraft och aerodynamisk effektivitet i flaxande drönare. Redan förstadierna till fåglar – utdöda fågelliknande dinosaurier – gynnades av att vika vingarna under upps

Honor och hanar av fiskarten ruda reagerar olika på rovdjursframkallad stress, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Hanarna förändrar sitt utseende genom att växa på höjden för att undkomma glupska rovfiskar. Denna egenskap saknas helt hos honorna som därför oftare slukas av större fiskar. Vissa djur har utvecklat förmågan att ändra utseende för att försvara sig mot rovdjur om det behövs. S

Olika fågelarter som migrerar har olika genetiskt programmerade rutiner som ger dem signaler när det är dags att ge sig av och återkomma. Det kan handla om faktorer som dagsljus, temperatur, väder och jordens magnetism. Dessa flyttprogram har studerats tidigare, men nya tekniker och beräkningskapacitet ger möjlighet att hantera stora mängder data och även simulera olika faktorer så att forskarna e

Thomas Alerstam, professor emeritus i biologi, har tilldelats Wahlbergska minnesmedaljen i guld 2023 ”för hans innovation att med hjälp av radar spåra flyttfåglar i realtid och för att därmed ha tagit vår kunskap om flyttfåglarnas rutter och flyttmönster långt bortom den klassiska fågelmärkningens möjligheter”. Hur började ditt intresse för fåglar?– Det började när jag var i tonåren och cyklade ut

Fåglars flyttningsresor mellan kontinenter har fascinerat människan sedan antiken. Nu visar en ny studie från Lund att det är två platser i arvsmassan som bestämmer om en lövsångare flyttar över Iberiska halvön till västra Afrika eller över Balkan till östra och södra Afrika. Forskare har länge vetat att det är ett medfött beteende som gör att sångfåglar flyttar i en specifik riktning mot en avläg

Kroppsstorleken hos trollsländor varierar över jordklotet. Insekterna är större i de tempererade områdena än i tropikerna, något som beror på både temperatur och förekomsten av rovdjur, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I en global jämförelse av olika arter hos denna gamla insektsgrupp har forskarna studerat hur kroppsstorlek varierar geografiskt och mellan olika arter. De har jämfört in
