Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Carnivorous plants popularly known as green predators have long fascinated scientists and general public alike owing to their fascinating trapping mechanisms. Botanical carnivory has evolved independently in five angiosperm orders.

Are There Carnivorous Plants in the Sea?
But what about the sea? Well, there are a lot of mixotrophic plants in the sea that eat other organisms. What happens is that they are unicellular and invisible without a microscope and that is why they are not so well known. Apart from diatoms (algae with a siliceous skeleton) and very few representatives of other groups, the other planktonic algae ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Processes underlying metacommunity structuring are important for understanding species tracking of environmental change at a landscape scale. Species' functional traits more closely reflect their ecological roles than taxonomy, therefore, adopting a functional approach allows us a better understanding of metacommunity structuring.

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis—an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer ...

Construction Costs of Carnivorous Plants and Non-Carnivorous Plants
, 2011 Leaf traits, including photosynthetic rates, leaf mass area, and leaf nutrient content covary in a coordinated way for a wide range of plant taxa. This covariation results from trade-offs between the costs of constructing plant tissues and the benefits ...

Ecophysiological Traits of Terrestrial and Aquatic Carnivorous Plants: Are the Costs and Benefits the Same? [PDF]
, 2012 Identification of trade-offs among physiological and morphological traits and their use in cost-benefit models and ecological or evolutionary optimization arguments have been hallmarks of ecological analysis for at least 50 years.
