It’s an icon of evolution, but the waterwheel plant is facing extinction – and even its preservation in a seed bank looks doubtful. The waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa) is the only aquatic ...

Biologists have for the first time reconstructed in detail the "menu" of the carnivorous waterwheel plant. This shows that the plant is not at all fussy about what it eats, and catches anything and ...

sites in the Tfebofi region, S Bohemia, Czech Republic, at the peak of a growing season. Growth of Aldrovanda was best at a meso-eutrophic site (biomass doubling time, T2, 8.4-10.7 days, mean growth ...

The genomes of three carnivorous plants -- the Venus flytrap, spoon-leaved sundew and the waterwheel plant -- have been decoded. The result has caused some surprises. Plants can produce energy-rich ...

HARBIN -- Researchers have found a large number of Aldrovanda vesiculosa, an endangered species commonly known as waterwheel plants, in a wetland in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, local ...

Scientists at the University of Freiburg in Germany have for the first time characterised the snapping movement of this rare aquatic carnivorous plant, found in wetlands around the world. Aldrovanda ...

Plants can produce energy-rich biomass with the help of light, water and carbon dioxide. This is why they are at the beginning of the food chains. But the carnivorous plants have turned the tables and ...
