b'A new tradition begins! Get ready for more plants with our friend Dr. Aly Baumgartner!\\nMost plants are content to sit still and take in sunlight and soil nutrients, but when conditions are tough, some plants get hungry! The habit of devouring small animals has evolved in plants several times. In this episode, we discuss what counts as carnivory in plants, why they do it, the various methods plants use to murder their meals, and what little we know about the evolutionary history of this behavior.\\nTime markers: Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:03:30 Main discussion, Part 1: 00:41:30 Main discussion, Part 2: 01:19:00Patron question: 02:03:30\\nFollow Aly on Twitter @kyrietree or Instagram @paleolorax\\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/\\nFind merch at the Common Descent Store! http://zazzle.com/common_descent\\nFollow and Support us on: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/commondescentpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/CommonDescentPCFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/commondescentpodcastInstagram: @commondescentpodcast PodBean: https://commondescentpodcast.podbean.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-common-descent-podcast/id1207586509?mt=2YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCePRXHEnZmTGum2r1l2mduw\\nThe Intro and Outro music is \\u201cOn the Origin of Species\\u201d by Protodome.
