Fig. 8.Box plots illustrating leaf construction costs for traps of 23 carnivorous plants (data from Osunkoyaet al., 2007; Karagatzides
and Ellison, 2008) and 269 non-carnivorous plants (data summarized in Karagatzides and Ellison, 2009)

. The scatter plot illustrates the
difference between construction costs of traps and laminae ofNepenthes(filled symbols); or phyllodia and pitchers of three species of
Sarracenia(open symbols) (data from Osunkoya et al., 2007; Karagatzides and Ellison, 2009); the dotted line indicates the location where
the construction costs of traps and laminae would be equal.
