Mixotrophy everywhere on land and in water: the grand écart hypothesis
MA Selosse, M Charpin, F Not - Ecology Letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
There is increasing awareness that many terrestrial and aquatic organisms are not strictly
heterotrophic or autotrophic but rather mixotrophic. Mixotrophy is an intermediate nutritional …

Snapping mechanics of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
The mechanical principles for fast snapping in the iconic Venus flytrap are not yet fully
understood. In this study, we obtained time-resolved strain distributions via three …

Evolution of carnivorous traps from planar leaves through simple shifts in gene expression
Leaves vary from planar sheets and needle-like structures to elaborate cup-shaped traps.
Here, we show that in the carnivorous plant Utricularia gibba, the upper leaf (adaxial) …
