Tambien agradecer, el esfuerzo realizado por la Universidad de Alicante por permitir el acceso a las diferentes fuentes de información que de otra forma hubiese sido imposible la redacción de este trabajo. A mi familia, por el esfuerzo económico que han soportodo y permitir cumplir mis sueños. Y por último y no menos importante, a mi alma incondicional, Sam. Por escuchar las interminables charlas sobre plantas y que poco a poco han conseguido despertar en él un interés por las plantas carnívoras. 2 ABSTRACT Over the last decades, carnivorous plants have acquired a certain prestige in popular culture beyond the awakening of a huge interest on the scientific community due to its extreme rareness. Since the first mentions in ancient botanical treatises until now, the current knowledge about carnivorous plants would even surprise Darwin. New technologies have been able to reveal the many mechanisms involved in carnivory in plants, allowing us to suggest that its appearance wasn’t an unique event throughout evolution, but however has emerged in many occasions and in completely different orders. In addition, the existence of vegetables without the capacity of absorbing insect nutrients, but with mechanisms to catch them has been known.

  • First Observations of Uv-Induced Fluorescence in Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae) and Other Tepui Flora
    Technical Refereed Contribution Published Online FIRST OBSERVATIONS OF UV-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE IN HELIAMPHORA (SARRACENIACEAE) AND OTHER TEPUI FLORA MICHAL R. GOLOS • School of Biological Sciences • University of Bristol • 24 Tyndall Avenue • Bristol • BS8 1TQ • UK • [email protected] Keywords: fluorescence, Heliamphora, morphology, phytochemistry, pitcher infauna, prey attraction, tepuis, visual ecology Abstract: Seven species of the carnivorous plant genus Heliamphora were studied in the wild across four tepuis of the Venezuelan Guyana. All were found to exhibit UV-induced blue fluorescence in their young and developing pitchers, the fluorescence being largely confined to the downward-pointing trichomes of the pitcher interior, with a small contribution from the nectaries. Subsequent work on cultivated plants confirmed the universality of this trait across all known members of the genus. Fluorescence microscopy localised the blue emissions to the surface of the trichomes and unequivocally showed that it represents true fluorescence. The phenomenon was found to be highly transient, generally being seen only in recently opened pitchers. Whether it has a biological function or is an incidental property remains to be determined. Possible roles in the attraction of prey and pitcher inquilines are discussed. Introduction Heliamphora is a Neotropical genus of pitcher plants found primarily in Venezuela but whose range also extends into neighbouring parts of Brazil and Guyana. The vast majority of the 23 currently recognised species are restricted to the summit plateaus and upper slopes of the distinctive table-mountains (tepuis) of the region, which are renowned for hosting a highly diverse and specialised plant community (McPherson et al. 2011). The above-ground vegetative parts of Heliamphora consist solely of the tubular leaves (pitchers), which often bear an apical appendage (the lid or ‘nectar spoon’) wherein the nectaries are concentrated and shielded from rain.
