Annals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · Oct 21
🆕 The new issue of Annals of Botany is now online!

🌸 Pollination & plant–insect interactions
🪶 Plant–animal & microbial interactions
🧬 Genomics & evolution
🌿 Physiology & climate responses
🍎 Structure & function
🌱 Seeds & reproduction

New issue👉 botany.fyi/ec7im6
The cover image shows an oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) visited by pollenforaging thrips. Thrips are minute plant and flower visitors and are commonly viewed as pests, but they are key pollinators of a wide range of plant taxa. [See van der Kooi et al., pp. 669–682.
