Systematics and evolution of small genera of carnivorous plants by Cross, Adam, Paniw, M., Scatigna, A., Kalfas, N., Anderson, B., Givnish, T., Fleischmann, A.

“…Although the small carnivorous genera are not diverse in terms of species number, they contain some of the most unique, peculiar, and ecologically novel carnivorous plants. The species include plants reliant upon digestive mutualism with insects; a carnivorous epiphyte; and a part-time carnivore.…”

A carnivorous plant algorithm for solving global optimization problems by Ong, Kok Meng, Ong, Pauline, Sia, Chee Kiong

“…In this study, a novel metaheuristic algorithm, namely, carnivorous plant algorithm (CPA), inspired by how the carnivorous plants adapting to survive in the harsh environment, was proposed. …”

Response of Selected Carnivorous Plants to Thidiazuron and RNA Extraction of Drosera x tokaiensis by Lim, Ying Houng

“…Carnivorous plants are undergoing extinction due to their wide exploitation for use in medical and horticultural industry, thus require in vitro culturing as an alternative method to preserve them and increase their market availability without endangering them. …”

Seed reproductive biology of the rare aquatic carnivorous plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Droseraceae) by Cross, A., Adamec, L., Turner, S., Dixon, Kingsley, Merritt, D.

“…Despite the unprecedented global decline in extant populations of Aldrovanda vesiculosa in the last century, little is known about the reproductive biology of this iconic aquatic carnivorous plant. This study aimed to investigate the role of seed-based reproduction in the ecology of A. vesiculosa, with particular focus on the interplay between the regulation of seed dormancy by temperature cues and the efficacy of exogenous ethylene gas to act as a germination stimulant, the desiccation capacity and long-term storage potential of seeds for conservation purposes. …”

How dangerous is a Drosera? Limb autotomy increases passive predation risk in crickets by Cross, Adam, Bateman, Bill

“…We explored this interaction experimentally using prey of different size and autotomy state (laboratory-raised crickets) exposed to a sessile predator (the carnivorous plant Drosera collina). Data indicated a strong relationship between capture likelihood and autotomy state, with capture likelihood increasing from 6% in intact crickets (those retaining both hind legs) to 31% in single autotomized and 44% in double autotomized individuals. …”
