After more than a century of being regarded as botanical oddities, carnivorous plants have
emerged as model systems that are appropriate for addressing a wide array of ecological …

Abstract Background Carnivorous pitcher plants (CPPs) use cone-shaped leaves to trap
animals for nutrient supply but are not able to kill all intruders of their traps. Numerous …

Dispersal among local communities can have a variety of effects on species composition
and diversity at local and regional scales. Local conditions (eg, resource and predator …

Atmospheric transport and deposition of nutrients, especially nitrogen, is a global
environmental problem with well-documented consequences for ecosystem dynamics …

Rotifera comprise about 2,000 species (Segers 2007) of microscopic animals, usually much
less than 1 mm in length, characterized by the presence of a ciliated corona and a muscular …

The effects of top‐down and bottom‐up forces on species abundance and diversity were
quantified in the inquiline communities found in the water‐filled leaves of the pitcher plant …

Geographic variation in morphology reflects phenotypic responses to environmental
gradients and evolutionary history of populations and species and may indicate local or …

We assessed the occurrence of algae in five species of tank-bromeliads found in contrasting
environmental sites in a Neotropical, primary rainforest around the Nouragues Research …

Plant and animal population sizes inevitably change following habitat loss, but the
mechanisms underlying these changes are poorly understood. We experimentally altered …

This review synthesizes published data and new results concerning the evolutionary
ecology of carnivorous plants. These diverse taxa occur in many angiosperm clades, but are …
