Ecological Interactions Between Spiders and the Purple Pitcher Plant, <i>Sarracenia purpurea</i>
… upon the carnivorous purple pitcher plant, <em>Sarracenia purpurea</em>. Although spiders and harvestmen are often known to be prey of <em>S. purpurea</em>, other ecological interactions between these arthropods and the plant are poorly understood. Studies were undertaken at three pitcher plant …

Characterization of winter microbial communities in the purple pitcher plant (<i>sarracenia purpurea</i>)
… For digestion to occur, plants in the genus <em>Sarracenia</em> require mutualistic microorganisms living in their leaves. Few studies have examined how these communities change over time. This study specifically examines the bacterial composition in the most widely distributed species, …

Ecological and Genetic Status of the Purple Pitcher Plant, <i>Sarracenia purpurea</i> L., in Maryland and Virginia
<p><em>Sarracenia purpurea</em> is a rare wetland plant in Virginia and a threatened species in Maryland, with two potential subspecies in the region. I utilized restriction fragments from the intron of the chalcone synthase gene to compare <em>S. purpurea</em> populations and determine whether the …

Conditions Responsible For The Success Of Carnivorous Plants In Nutrient-Poor Wetlands
… and root competition from neighbors on sarracenia alata growth. I found no evidence of belowground competition on growth, nor did belowground competition interact with fire to influence growth. To address the second question, I used carnivorous drosera tracyi to experimentally test the …
