CORONA Young people’s mental health has not been affected by the two corona lockdowns, a new study from the University of Copenhagen concludes. But in the short run, it did suffer temporarily.
Scientists recover an ancient woman’s DNA from a 20,000-year-old pendant
Linguists and computer scientists collaborate to publish a large global Open Access lexical database
A recent linguistic study found that early Bantu speakers crossed through the dense Central African Rainforest 4,000 years ago
GeLaTo, a global database, helps to explore the complex history of our genes and languages
Data from 124 societies shows that dogs’ functions predict their treatment, with closer bonds forming in societies where dogs have multiple roles
An international team has created a new database that documents patterns of grammatical variation in over 2400 of the world’s languages
Geochemical analyses of stone artefacts reveal long-distance voyaging among Pacific Islands during the last millennium
Genetic analysis adds new perspectives on the (pre)history of South America - from the first settlement until today
Across species, social hierarchies are often governed by dominance relations.
In most bird species, females disperse prior to their first breeding attempt, while males remain close to the place they hatched.
Behavioral flexibility should, theoretically, be positively related to behavioral inhibition because one should need to inhibit a previously learned behavior to change their behavior when the task changes (flexibility).
Forest loss due to anthropogenic activities is one of the main causes of plant and animal species decline.
CELL BIOLOGY Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.
A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has developed an ultrathin ferroelectric semiconductor, measuring just 5 nanometers thick, with the potential to revolutionize computing and power next-generation technologies.
Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between longevity and brain size in a variety of taxa.
CANCER Radiation is usually an effective treatment for cancer. Unfortunately, cancer cells are frequently able to defend themselves against the treatment. But now researchers from the University of Copenhagen have shown how cancer cells defend themselves, and their discovery may help ensure that this frontline treatment can save more lives.
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE A new method developed at the University of Copenhagen has been used to identify more than 1,000 different types of bactericidal viruses in the human intestines. The researchers behind the new study believe the discovery may help fight antibiotic resistance.
Prior experiments with children across seven different societies have indicated U‑shaped age patterns in the likelihood of copying majority demonstrations.
This paper offers a systematic approach to quantifying the socio-economic role of forests for 'forest-dependent' communities.
