Table 2.

Results of Pearson's correlation between leaf characteristics for all plants, and between leaf characteristics and prey capture for those plants that captured prey. Colour, trap colour (a*); leaves, number of leaves; area, leaf area; prey number, number of prey captured per plant; prey length, mean length of captured prey; capture efficiency, number of prey captured per unit leaf/trap area. Values shown in italics are statistically significant (p < 0.05).
