I was also amazed by the panning time lapse shots. I almost missed some of
the narration as I tried to figure out how they did it so smoothly. The
Utric on Mt. Roraima that feeds inside bromeliad pools was probably one of
the most fascinating bits for me last night (aside from several dozen other
fascinating bits :-)). Has anyone seen any other references to this habit
in the literature? How does the utric find the pool? Is there some kind
of chemical cue to direct the growth of the utric or is it just a chance
association? I wonder if they also feed inside the Heliamphora pitchers.
Barry - any ideas?
