Abstract
A round-leaved sundew with sticky mucilage at the end of tentacles to capture prey (Credit: Christopher R Hatcher).
The authors behind this month’s cover photo (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.14719) investigated whether the carnivorous plant Drosera rotundifolia would alter investment in carnivory and the amount of plant nitrogen (N) derived from prey in response to differences in shade and nutrients between hummock and hollow microforms on patterned peatlands. They measured differences in the density of sticky leaf tentacles and the proportion of plant N that was prey-derived, and demonstrated D. rotundifolia’s capacity to vary investment in carnivory, adjusting the proportion of prey-derived N, in response to small-scale habitat heterogeneity.
期刊介绍：
Functional Ecology publishes high-impact papers that enable a mechanistic understanding of ecological pattern and process from the organismic to the ecosystem scale. Because of the multifaceted nature of this challenge, papers can be based on a wide range of approaches. Thus, manuscripts may vary from physiological, genetics, life-history, and behavioural perspectives for organismal studies to community and biogeochemical studies when the goal is to understand ecosystem and larger scale ecological phenomena. We believe that the diverse nature of our journal is a strength, not a weakness, and we are open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies that we publish. Certain key areas will continue to be emphasized: studies that integrate genomics with ecology, studies that examine how key aspects of physiology (e.g., stress) impact the ecology of animals and plants, or vice versa, and how evolution shapes interactions among function and ecological traits. Ecology has increasingly moved towards the realization that organismal traits and activities are vital for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem processes, particularly in response to the rapid global changes occurring in earth’s environment, and Functional Ecology aims to publish such integrative papers.
