Identification of carnivory in the flowering plant Saxifraga via multidisciplinary evidence | Nature Communications

Carnivorous plants capture and digest insects for nutrients, an adaptive strategy typically found in wetlands. This study identifies carnivory in the alpine Saxifraga plant lineage, supporting Darwin's hypothesis of carnivory in this genus.
