dc.description.abstract | Previous research of the purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) characterizes the effects of aging on its pitcher leaves, though to date there are no studies that characterize changes in plant-produced digestive enzymes in relation to age. This study looked at the digestive rates in 20 old and new pitchers with and without their Dipteran inquilines, in Mud Lake Bog, MI. Digestion of flies did not differ significantly between pitchers with and without the Diptera in both old and new leaves (P>0.5). During the course of the study the Diptera reoccurred in all but three pitchers, though digestion between old and new pitchers still did not differ significantly (P>0.5). These data suggest that there is no relative difference in digestive rate due to age, though this study could not fully account for purely plant-based digestion. | en_US |
