First Results About Pollination of Silene migjornensis, an Endemic Plant Species of the Southern Dunes of Mallorca

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 882-887, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Silene migjornensis is a plant species restricted to a unique location in the south of Mallorca. Its floral syndrome suggests nocturnal pollination by lepidopterans, but pollinators of this species remain unknown.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...
