Carnivorous plants and their biotic interactions
Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022 Carnivorous plants reverse the order we expect in nature: here, animals do not feed on plants, but plants hunt and feed on animal prey, primarily insects, thereby enabling these plants to survive in nutrient-poor environments.

Omics Approaches in Uncovering Molecular Evolution and Physiology of Botanical Carnivory
Plants, 2023 Systems biology has been increasingly applied with multiple omics for a holistic comprehension of complex biological systems beyond the reductionist approach that focuses on individual molecules.

Molecular Phylogenomics Reveals the Deep Evolutionary History of Carnivory across Land Plants
Plants, 2023 Plastid molecular phylogenies that broadly sampled angiosperm lineages imply that carnivorous plants evolved at least 11 times independently in 13 families and 6 orders.

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Carnivorous plants of the genus Utricularia (bladderwort) form modified leaves into suction bladder traps. The bladders are metabolically active plant tissue with high rates of mitochondrial respiration (RD).

Evaluating the adaptive evolutionary convergence of carnivorous plant taxa through functional genomics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Carnivorous plants are striking examples of evolutionary convergence, displaying complex and often highly similar adaptations despite lack of shared ancestry. Using available carnivorous plant genomes along with non-carnivorous reference taxa, this study

Carnivorous plants inspired shape-morphing slippery surfaces
Opto-Electronic Advances, 2023 Carnivorous plants, for instance, Dionaea muscipula and Nepenthes pitcher plant, inspired the innovation of advanced stimuli-responsive actuators and lubricant-infused slippery surfaces, respectively.

Distribution and conservation status of Drosera viridis Rivadavia (Droseraceae), including the first records from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and a key to the genus in this state [PDF]
Check List, 2020 Drosera viridis Rivadavia, a Brazilian endemic species of carnivorous herb, has its geographical range extended in South Brazil, including the first records for Rio Grande do Sul, from subtropical highland grasslands in the northeastern

Distinctive plastome evolution in carnivorous angiosperms
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Independent origins of carnivory in multiple angiosperm families are fabulous examples of convergent evolution using a diverse array of life forms and habitats. Previous studies have indicated that carnivorous plants have distinct evolutionary

Biology, 2023 Carnivorous plants attract animals, trap and kill them, and absorb nutrients from the digested bodies. This unusual (for autotrophs) type of nutrient acquisition evolved through the conversion of photosynthetically active leaves into specialised organs ...

Distribution and natural history of carnivorous plants of Saskatchewan, Canada [PDF]
Check List, 2013 We provide distribution maps of carnivorous plants as well as an assessment of rarity status and potential threats to diversity of carnivorous taxa in Saskatchewan using a biodiversity informatics approach. Saskatchewan is home to ten carnivorous species
