Vertebrates can be more important pollinators than invertebrates on islands: the case of L.

On islands, flowering plants tend to be more generalist in their pollination needs, as insects (the main pollinators of flowering plants) are underrepresented in these ecosystems compared to the mainland. In addition, some vertebrate species that are typically insectivorous or granivorous on the mainland are forced to broaden their diet and consume other resources such as nectar or pollen on the islands. The shrub , with its large and colourful flowers, attracts different groups of potential pollinators.

Functional unknomics: Systematic screening of conserved genes of unknown function.

The human genome encodes approximately 20,000 proteins, many still uncharacterised. It has become clear that scientific research tends to focus on well-studied proteins, leading to a concern that poorly understood genes are unjustifiably neglected. To address this, we have developed a publicly available and customisable "Unknome database" that ranks proteins based on how little is known about them.

Assessing the Role of Lizards as Potential Pollinators of an Insular Plant Community and Its Intraspecific Variation.

The role of lizards as potential pollinators on islands has been documented for either one or a few plants in different parts of the world, but it has never been assessed for an entire plant community. Here, we quantified interaction rate by lizards and evaluated intraspecific differences in the use of flowers on Cabrera Gran (Cabrera archipelago, Balearic Islands) by means of visual observations, automated cameras and the analysis of pollen grain samples. Overall, we recorded interactions of the Balearic wall lizard () with flowers of 44 plant species, 72.

Examining the relationship between psychosis and immigration in Spain: The effect of cannabis use and language barrier in a large psychosis sample.

The main aim of this study is to examine the association between psychosis and immigration, independent of the language barrier, drug consumption, and the social support index. The second aim is to explore the clinical and demographic characteristics of the immigrants in the catchment area, compared with the native Spanish population suffering from psychosis. All consecutive patients admitted to a hospital in Spain during 2018 and 2019 (n = 1484) were identified through the hospital's clinical records.
