Flowers aren't just pretty structures — they're biochemical strategies shaped by millions of years of interactions.
One planet, many ways to feed a pollinator. 🌍🐝

How many plants actually produce nectar?🌼🌹🌻🌺

🌿 Why does this matter?
Understanding how floral rewards evolve and distribute globally is key for:
✔️ predicting pollination under climate change
✔️ guiding ecological restoration
✔️ protecting plant–pollinator networks

This has allowed us to learn more about the biology of Desmaria mutabilis, a mistletoe that was little studied🌿🤏.
In addition, one of our major findings was to discover the interaction of #hyperparasitism among mistletoes, a phenomenon that reveals the complexity of nature🌀.

Since 2017, our lab has been working in Nahuelbuta National Park, Chile. There, we have conducted key research🔬 to better understand the interactions between #mistletoes and the #flora and #fauna of this extraordinary place🌱.
