🌿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.

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...😅

So, for International Women's Day, I've asked my Botany students to look for female scientists in Plant Science and do a short (3-4 min presentation) about their achievements

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! 😋

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!
