L. (Apiaceae) is a geophyte that inhabits in the dunes of the Mediterranean and Atlantic. Although it is a highly entomophilous species, there is little literature on its pollinator assemblage. The aim of this study is to analyze the role played by in the dune pollination network of the Balearic Islands, where there is an intense anthropogenic impact in its habitat. For this purpose, two populations located in the North and South of Mallorca were chosen, in which diurnal transects were carried out to observe and capture pollinators on 15 plant species during the anthesis period of . The flowering period of 10 plant species flowering at the same period than was analyzed to identify periods of competition. A total of 71 pollinator species were found, belonging to 30 different families. is a strongly generalist species, with a total of 45 pollinator species. Two new species, and , were found for the first time in Mallorca. In terms of pollinators, and are the most similar species to . However, analysis of phenology suggests that these three species have been able to decouple their blooms to avoid competition. The present study shows that plays an important role in the dune pollination network, being its anthesis located at the end of the dune flowering season, when there are no functionally similar species in flower.
L.（伞形科）是一种生长在地中海和大西洋沙丘中的地下芽植物。尽管它是一种高度虫媒传粉的物种，但关于其传粉者群落的文献却很少。本研究的目的是分析L.在巴利阿里群岛沙丘传粉网络中所起的作用，该地区其栖息地受到强烈的人为影响。为此，选择了位于马略卡岛北部和南部的两个种群，在L.的花期，对15种植物进行日间样带调查，以观察和捕捉传粉者。分析了与L.同期开花的10种植物的花期，以确定竞争时期。共发现71种传粉者物种，分属于30个不同的科。L.是一种高度泛化的物种，共有45种传粉者物种。在马略卡岛首次发现了两个新物种，即[物种名1]和[物种名2]。在传粉者方面，[物种名3]和[物种名4]是与L.最相似的物种。然而，物候分析表明，这三个物种能够错开它们的花期以避免竞争。本研究表明，L.在沙丘传粉网络中起着重要作用，其花期位于沙丘开花季节末期，此时没有功能相似的物种开花。
