🌿 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 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.

🌿Super excited to attend the PIM🏝 Initiative meeting and present our past and future projects on islets! At @botland-uib.bsky.social, we’ll do our best to help improve understanding of how islet flora evolves and adapts to climate change. Many thanks for the invitation!

🌿 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 we have worked on the project Femeniasia balearica: conservation status of an endemic species of the Balearic Islands (FeMen), led by Joshua Borràs and Joana Cursach, with the support of members of BOTLAND and the Marimurtra Botanical Garden, and funded by the Consell Insular de Menorca.

El otro día hubo una tormenta de granizo y la naturaleza nos regaló este fantástico video de una hembra de cernícalo protegiendo a sus huevos de las piedras de hielo poniendo en riesgo su propia integridad (se aprecia cómo la intensidad del granizo daña su plumaje).
La naturaleza es fascinante.👇😍🔝

I was doing pollinator estimation stuff on a forest (see my profile pic) and I found myself looking at a Dianthus caryophyllus (among others, such as the ornamental Bellis in the back)
The worst thing is that people do this thinking they are benefiting biodiversity and ecosysyems...😅

First week as prof. of Botany just ended! 👌 I've told to every class "My objective here is that you enjoy plants 🌿 despite you don't like Botany 👨🔬👩🔬!" I hope I can do it! 😋
