Climbing mechanisms and the diversification of neotropical climbing plants across time and space

New Phytologist, 2023
Summary Climbers germinate on the ground but need external support to sustain their stems, which are maintained attached to supports through modified organs, that is, climbing mechanisms. Specialized climbing mechanisms have been linked to higher diversification rates. Also, different mechanisms may have different support diameter restrictions, which

Climbing plants in Ghanaian forests.

2005
AbstractThe total number of forest climbers in Ghana has been recorded as 604 but this number has increased to 634 following further research and taxonomic revisions as the taxa become better known. The focus of this paper is on woody climbers (lianes), and the variation in liana biology and ecology is described for the commoner Ghanaian species. These

Virtual climbing plants competing for space

Proceedings of Computer Animation 2002 (CA 2002), 2003
An old algorithm for visual simulation of climbing plants is extended here. Plants are modeled as systems of oriented particles that are able to sense their environment. Particles move to the best locations using directed random walk. We use the phenomenon of traumatic reiteration for critical cases.

Climbing Plants, a New Concept for Robotic Grasping

2013
Climbing plants represent an outstanding example of a grasping strategy coming from the plant Kingdom. Tendrils are the filiform organs devoted to the task and are extremely flexible and sensitive to touch. In this preliminary contribution we present some of the observed key features of tendrils.

Carabids climbing maize plants

Zeitschrift für Angewandte Entomologie, 1984
AbstractWith a modified type of arboreal photoeclector (“stalk trap”), insects walking on corn stalks up or down, can be collected. During 4 years of operation of the trap from corn sowing to harvest, 10 carabids of 4 species were collected: Bembidion lampros, Harpalus calceatus, H. distinguendus, H. rufipes. Cicindela germanica was observed feeding on

Climbing plants: attachment adaptations and bioinspired innovations

Plant Cell Reports, 2017
Climbing plants have unique adaptations to enable them to compete for sunlight, for which they invest minimal resources for vertical growth. Indeed, their stems bear relatively little weight, as they traverse their host substrates skyward. Climbers possess high tensile strength and flexibility, which allows them to utilize natural and manmade ...
