- **Event Name**: How do Nepenthes pitcher plants cope with changing weather conditions?
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Nepenthes pitcher plants are usually half-filled with a fluid that traps and digests insects. I will discuss how weather conditions such as rainfall and drought affect the volume and composition of this fluid and how the pitcher itself responds to any resultant changes caused by the weather, by secreting or removing fluid as necessary. I will also show how the volume of the fluid found within a pitcher affects the number of insects it is able to capture, and hence why it is so important for the pitchers to regulate their fluid levels.

Charlotte Andrew is a PhD student in the Insect Biomechanics Group, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge. Her research explores the fascinating fluids used by carnivorous plants to capture insects, with a focus on how the unique properties of these fluids make them highly effective traps and how the plants maintain their functionality under varying environmental conditions. She primarily studies Nepenthes and Drosera species and has conducted extensive fieldwork in Brunei, Borneo, investigating the fluids of six different Nepenthes species in their natural habitats.
