Figure 6

Filament evolution profiles for fresh greenhouse-sampled of pitcher fluids. N. eymae (diamonds) and N. maxima (triangles) both showed clearly viscoelastic behaviour while the N. rafflesiana filament broke before the pistons finished separating. The UCM model (dashed lines) provided the best fit for all three samples; λUCM values given in Table 1. Experimental data have been decimated for clarity.
