The behavioural ecology of climbing plants [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2015 Climbing plants require an external support to grow vertically and enhance light acquisition. Vines that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate. Therefore, the location of a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants.

A 2D model to study how secondary growth affects the self-supporting behaviour of climbing plants. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Climbing plants exhibit specialized shoots, called "searchers", to cross spaces and alternate between spatially discontinuous supports in their natural habitats. To achieve this task, searcher shoots combine both primary and secondary growth processes of

The Development of a Stereo Vision System to Study the Nutation Movement of Climbing Plants [PDF]
SensorsClimbing plants, such as common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), exhibit complex motion patterns that have long captivated researchers. In this study, we introduce a stereo vision machine system for the in-depth analysis of the movement of climbing plants,

Diversity, Pattern, and Environmental Drivers of Climbing Plants in China [PDF]
PlantsAs a distinct plant functional group, climbers critically sustain ecosystem structure and function globally. However, little is known about those in China. Here, we examine the diversity and distribution of Chinese climbers at a regional scale.

Trichomes as a defense mechanism against climbing plants [PDF]
Plant Signaling & BehaviorNon-glandular trichomes are essential in plant defence against herbivores and water loss. However, evolutionary pressures often favor the development of multifunctional traits, suggesting that trichomes may serve multiple ecological roles. I hypothesized

Evidence for competition and cooperation among climbing plants [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 A plant's best strategy for acquiring resources may often depend on the identity of neighbours. Here, I ask whether plants adjust their strategy to local relatedness: individuals may cooperate (reduce competitiveness) with kin but compete relatively intensely with non-kin. In a greenhouse experiment with Ipomoea hederacea

Monitoring of Plant Species and Communities on Coastal Cliffs: Is the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Suitable? [PDF]
, 2020 Cliffs are reservoirs of biodiversity; therefore, many plant species and communities of inland and coastal cliffs are protected by Council Directive 92/43/EEC (European Economic Community), and their monitoring is mandatory in European Union countries ...
