🌿 Femeniasia balearica is an endemic species of the Balearic Islands that, until recently, was considered the same in both Mallorca and Menorca. However, it has now been divided into two different subspecies: one for each island.

This year, a research study has been published on cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens) inhabiting dune systems and their potential use as bioindicators to assess human impacts or define specific habitats.

🌿 This year we concluded the two-year project “BioLitoral”, led by Joana Cursach with the participation of numerous researchers from BOTLAND.
The goal was to deepen the study of two unique coastal species:
the dune endemic Silene migjornensis
and the micro-area coastal species Diplotaxis ibicensis.

This autumn we hosted Francesco Marra from the University of Bologna during his Erasmus+ visit at @uib.cat
He has substantially helped us on our research tasks, especially FeMen and MULTIFUN (specifically @joshuaborras.bsky.social PhD thesis) projects. Thanks for your help buddy!
