🌳We found a weak trade-off: drought resistant trees tend to be less frost-hardy & vice versa 🌡️🔥❄️
🌲💪 Conifers are generally tougher than angiosperms🌺
🧐No "costs" related to fast-slow economics spectrum 🍃🌱

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae).

CAM #photosynthesis discovered for the first time in a carnivorous plant

Scientists from @SNSB and @lmumuenchen.bsky.social have found out in experiments with Pinguicula (butterworts).
