Mechanics reveals the role of peristome geometry in prey capture in carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes)
Carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes) are a striking example of a natural pitfall trap. The trap’s slippery rim, or peristome, plays a critical role in insect capture via an aquaplaning mechanism that is well documented. While the peristome has received significant research attention, the conspicuo...
