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 Route Development Affects Cliff Vascular Plants More Than Subsequent Climbing: A Guide to Evidence-Based Conservation Management to Regulate Climbing [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology
1. Cliff ecosystems provide refuge to 35%–66% of the world's endemic plants. However, they face growing threats from sport climbing. Evidence suggests that unclimbed cliffs harbour approximately twice the plant richness compared with climbed cliffs ...

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 ...

Forest climbing plants of West Africa: introduction.

2005
AbstractThe 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 ...
