Sundew Sticky Traps

The book progresses by first introducing the diversity and global distribution of sundew species. It then examines the structure and function of the adhesive glands in detail, including the biomechanics of prey capture and the chemical processes involved in digestion. Finally, the broader implications of sundew research are analyzed, including their ecological roles and potential use in biomimicry. This integrated approach, combining botanical, chemical, and biomechanical perspectives, provides a holistic understanding of plant carnivory, making it a valuable resource for those interested in biology and nature.
