Plant Sci. 160(1): 98 - 101. You should be able to access JSTOR from a library to get access. He looks at protocarnivory in other Caryophyllaceae.<br />I'll be linking to your photos for a little presentation on possible protocarnivory in Silene.

I'd wondered about that and asked the NJFandW Biologist that's studying our site... she said something about a problem with the bands/the birds' feeding habits... heard of that?
