Climbing mechanisms and the diversification of neotropical climbing plants across time and space
New Phytologist, 2023Summary 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

Carabids climbing maize plants
Zeitschrift für Angewandte Entomologie, 1984AbstractWith 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 in Ghanaian forests.
2005AbstractThe 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

Climbing plants: attachment adaptations and bioinspired innovations
Plant Cell Reports, 2017Climbing 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 ...

Forest climbing plants of West Africa: introduction.
2005AbstractThe rainforests of Upper Guinea extend from Senegal to Togo and are separated from the rest of the West African forest by the Dahomey Gap: an extension of savannah from the Sahel to the Gulf of Guinea. The Upper Guinea forest zone harbours a large number of animal and plant species, and has been earmarked as one of the world's hotspots of ...

Virtual climbing plants competing for space
Proceedings of Computer Animation 2002 (CA 2002), 2003An 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 beat trees to soil nutrient patches
Current Biology, 2023Charles Darwin reasoned that because climbing plants are freed from the need to be mechanically self-supporting, their stems can remain thin, elongate quickly, and efficiently colonize and display leaves in well-illuminated areas where trellises are available1. Herein, I report that this tremendous exploratory capacity also applies below-ground - roots
