Pitcher geometry facilitates extrinsically powered ‘springboard trapping' in carnivorous Nepenthes gracilis pitcher plants

Carnivorous pitcher plants capture insects in cup-shaped leaves that function as motionless pitfall traps. Nepenthes gracilis evolved a unique ‘springboard' trapping mechanism that exploits the impact energy of falling raindrops to actuate a fast pivoting motion of the canopy-like pitcher lid....
