Although unlike animals, plants are incapable of locomotion in that they are unable to move from one place to another, or perform some feat like shaking hands as humans do, they are still capable of some form of movement. Plant organs move toward scarce resources or otherwise secure food or ...

thereby allowing for resource movement and signal transduction within clones.Interconnected ramets of clonal plants, though potentially independent and totipotent, can specialize functionally in the performance of limited numbers of tasks such as the uptake of resources from above- vs below-ground sources...
What is an example of tropism in plants? Most of the shoots of the plant grow towards a light source while most of the roots grow away. This movement of plants is called phototropism. This allows the plants to have maximum access to water, light, and nutrients. The photoreceptors associated...
is a serious pest dependent on the cornfieldant. During the winter, the ants store aphid eggs in their nests and in the spring carry the newly hatched aphids to weed roots, transferring them to corn roots when possible. The aphid stunts the growth of corn and causes plants to turn yellow...
Sex - Complementary Mating Types: The complementarity of both male and female sex cells and male and female individuals is a form of division of labour. Male sex cells are usually motile cells capable of swimming through liquid, either freshwater, seawat
The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always responded in the same way to disturbances, and the responses can differ among taxa. In arid
Grow in wet, boggy soils, or shallow water at the edge of a pond or water feature. Use in containers, rain gardens, and miniature ponds. Treat as an annual in cooler regions. In frost-free climates, plants can spread aggressively through self-seeding and root rhizomes. See where this ...

Also called corner filters or internal filters, these were the first aquarium filters available for home aquariums. Although less common than in the past, they are very inexpensive and can be loaded with a variety of filter media. Many box filters are compact units that stick to the glass ins...
