Kinematics Governing Mechanotransduction in the Sensory Hair of the <i>Venus flytrap</i>

Insects fall prey to the <i>Venus flytrap</i> (<i>Dionaea muscipula</i>) when they touch the sensory hairs located on the flytrap lobes, causing sudden trap closure. The mechanical stimulus imparted by the touch produces an electrical response in the sensory cells of the trig...
