Carnivorous plants (CPs)—those possessing specific strategies to attract, capture and kill
animal prey and obtain nutrition through the absorption of their biomass—are harbingers of …

The fate of natural populations is mediated by complex interactions among vital rates, which
can vary within and among years. Although the effects of random, among‐year variation in …

The effect of prescribed burning for conservation management of plant communities is
controversial for moorlands growing on peat. These ecosystems provide many services that …

Dormant life stages are often critical for population viability in stochastic environments, but
accurate field data characterizing them are difficult to collect. Such limitations may translate …

Quantifying interactive effects of environmental drivers on population dynamics can be
critical for a robust analysis of population viability. Fire regimes, among the most widespread …

Fire is a topical issue in the management of many ecosystems globally that face a drying
climate. Understanding the role of fire in such ecosystems is critical to inform appropriate …

Background and Aims In a cost–benefit framework, plant carnivory is hypothesized to be an
adaptation to nutrient-poor soils in sunny, wetland habitats. However, apparent exceptions …

Disturbance is necessary for the survival of most species of carnivorous plants to reduce
competition and expose bare soil for germination. Historically, fire was the most widespread …

For many species, facilitation can result in transient species coexistence, but subsequent
competition can limit long-term coexistence. Adaptive phenotypic variation in response to …

Most carnivorous plants show a conspicuous separation between flowers and leaf-traps,
which has been interpreted as an adaptive response to minimize pollinator-prey conflicts …
