Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 This short film features the prey-catching by the catapult-flypaper-trap of Drosera glanduligera. Simon Poppinga from the Plant Biomechanics Group of the Botanic Garden of the University Freiburg (Head Prof. Dr. Thomas Speck) operated the high-speed camera and the scanning electron microscope. The HD-shots were made by Irmgard and myself on our living-room table, using our Sony Z5 camera. This digest shows explicitly the prey-catching of the catapult-flypaper-trap and was new edited for those, who like to see just the basal principles, and not the complete documentation on our examinations. Our collaboration with the Plant Biomechanics Group "Catapulting Tentacles in a Sticky Carnivorous Plant" was published on September 26 2012 at PLOS ONE (http://dx.plos.org/1...al.pone.0045735).

Daniel G Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I like the sound effects I'd love to grow this one day, and do many experiments with fruit flies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
