We experimentally demonstrate in the field that prey of the carnivorous plant Sarracenia purpurea are attracted to sugar, not to colour. Prey capture (either all taxa summed or individual common taxa considered separately) was not associated with total red area or patterning on pitchers of living pitcher plants. We separated effects of nectar availability and coloration using painted 'pseudopit...

The bogs in Northern Michigan are unusual ecosystems that contain a thick layer of peat that separates the surface vegetation from the nutrient-rich groundwater below it. Because of the thick layer of peat, nutrient-poor rain is the sole source of water for the surface vegetation, which allows the bog to stay nutrient-poor. In order to measure nutrient dynamics throughout bogs, we decided to in...
