🌿 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.

🌿 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.

En #SEBICOP estamos ultimando nuestra participación en el 2º Congreso de botánica de @OficialSebot : #SEBOT2025 Sserán días repletos de actividades, encuentros y muchas personas y sobre todo mucha #BOTANICA Si puedes NO te lo pierdas ‼️

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.

These last three months, our colleague Pere Miquel Mir Rosselló @petermikeler.bsky.social is carrying out a research stay at the Università di Catania in Sicily, as part of his doctoral training funded by the University Teaching Training Grant (FPU).

Last May, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Alba Cuena, a researcher from the Università degli Studi di Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), through the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching program.

👩🏻‍🔬🌸 Lucía Parramon defended her Master's Thesis last Friday, titled "Insights into the floral biology of Silene migjornensis, a range-restricted species with nocturnal pollination", supervised by Joana Cursach.
